 Does anyone actually believe the school district, principal, etc?  

Parents, pull your kids out of violent, dysfunctional public schools.

Watch the video.  Kids were just standing around while a female student was attacked from behind, slung to the floor by her hair, and pummeled.  They didn't try to stop the assault.  It's as if this happens all the time.   The nonchalant manner in which her fellow students just stood there while she was being assaulted is deeply disturbing. 
Violence is tolerated, even encouraged.  Who took the video of the assault on the girl?  Was this attack planned?  The trans identified male student was standing next to some lockers with two other girls before he attacked her from behind.  Did these, or other girls, encourage the trans student to attack the girl?   They might have singled out a girl they dislike, and let this little thug loose on the girl.  

Where were the teachers?  Why aren't staff patrolling the halls more?

Keep in mind that this is a MALE student attacking a female student at a middle school.  This is a serious problem.  Imagine the damage he could do when he is in high school.
