    Anti-bullying policies at schools aren’t meant to protect victims. But they aren’t meant to protect perpetrators either.

    They are instead meant to protect the school administration, notably from having to actually assign fault in bullying situations. They can simply say “zero tolerance,” punish all parties equally, and wash their hands of it.
