Only the military or civil servants are required to put themselves in harms way for another. No school should be allowed to required someone to put him or herself in harms way. The choice should be the individual's. Aren't you over 6'? Then you've got a leg to stand on to step in. A bit of a different case for us short guys.
Like I said before, the way things are done today are much different than the past. Our litigation-enabling society creates a lot of issues for someone that steps in to help the guy on the ground - innocent or not. Speaking of which, the school will probably have a lawsuit on their case if kids were actually expelled merely for "not stepping in to help."
