- Legion 16y agoNot at all true. === California Education code section 48915: (a) Except as provided in subdivisions (c) and (e), the principal or the superintendent of schools shall recommend the expulsion of a pupil for any of the following acts committed at school or at a school activity off school grounds, unless the principal or superintendent finds that expulsion is inappropriate, due to the particular circumstance: (1) Causing serious physical injury to another person, except in self-defense. (... the rest snipped ....) === Note three things: 1) "Recommend for expulsion" is not equivalent to "actual expulsion" 2) The emphasized (by me) self-defense exception. 3) "serious physical injury" does not include fighting that does not result in serious injury. Fighting most certainly does happen on California school campuses, and they are not all getting expelled.
