A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.

Indeed. I always tell my kids don’t punch first. Punch last.
I would consider making deep fake porn of someone (a minor, especially) and publishing it to be punching first.
A big part of the problem is also that schools see physical violence separate from emotional violence. That is…they don’t see emotional violence. They handwave it as “just bullying”. The bully gets nothing more than a slap on the wrist (if that) until they strike physically.
And, the school exists in a bubble. If bullying happens outside of school/the bus (say, online), their hands are tied.
Then one day the bullied kid snaps and schools acts like it was completely unprovoked.
“never start a fight, but be prepared to finish one” is how I was taught
Lol, what? You must not know what words mean.
Would you tell your 13yo daughter to go beat the shit out of whatever piece of crap made that video of her and posted it around?
I know I would, but only because I’d get in more trouble if I beat the shit out of that kid for her.
Some kids…especially at that age…really, absolutely need a good old-fashioned ass whooping. But it has to come from a peer now, or else it’s “abuse”.
Honestly that’s probably why bullying nowadays isn’t physical fights as much as it is verbal assault (and imo, far more vicious). Parents these days don’t hit their kids nearly as much as the prior generation.
