So, she swatted the teachers arm away. That changes the "assault" story somewhat, although I am sure the PC crowd will insist it was a "violent assault".

She was charged with misdemeanor battery, not assault, and I think that's even a stretch.
"her thoughts, feelings, and, yes, even her leap to being personally offended, are developmentally appropriate"
No, they are not. They're the reaction of the developmentally delayed or cognitively impaired. Watch a preschool class sometime. That's the age at which one would expect to see the reactions she exhibited.
The problem is that a significant portion of the left is exactly like that. The need for "safe spaces." "Microagressions." Assertions of "cultural appropriation." Extremely overwrought reactions to Hillary's loss. Rioting, vandalism, and looting after Hillary's loss. Violent attacks on Free Speech. Why? When did almost half the country become essentially brain-damaged?
You don't think there's a rise in people making mountains out of molehills? This thread, for example?
You ignore that she interviewed with the media and made a statement that she made the scene to express her political statement and that "Maybe just wake people up in some type of way, because it's not cool, the environment our classroom is in," Butler said.
So who is making a mountain out of a molehill. You don't act this way and interview with the media because your happy with molehills.

No one said it was a violent assault. You seem feel it is ok for students to physically touch, push, swat, slap and take from other students and teachers. Do you feel the same way when its the teachers doing it to the students. There have been many articles and media coverage over teachers swatting, grabbing, physically handling students not to mention just saying words to them, commenting on their clothing, asking PC questions on quizzes or assigned homework.
After watching the father in the interview it doesn't appear to me there will be any parental repercussions for her, only legal ones. Hopefully she will finally learn a lesson that should have been taught much earlier. If I were her parent I would be mortified and definitely would not have put my daughter or myself out there as he did.
That's a good point, as she's being permanently tagged by this unprovoked violent outburst. She's 17. It's her parents' responsibility to keep her from being publicly exposed as unhinged. Her father is irresponsible, to say the least.

Yes, it is completely normal for teenagers to have these types of thoughts and feelings. Do you actually know any teenagers? She is not a lost cause, and those who are ready to write her off worry me much more than she does. Seventeen-year-olds do not generally have the sensibilities of adults, but most of them get there eventually. And I am 99% sure she'll get there, too. This story should not even be in the news. It's just click-bait designed to feed the outrage machine.
