Outcast
It't just a shame, if you have to turn your back on your asserted political direction, or your asserted subculture, just because those people that are in it are so stubborn, narrow-minded and willing to perceive anything that makes you, in their eyes, be no-one that belongs to their roundel.
I've gotten really depressed before and was not very functional and I'd wonder if I'd snap and lose control of myself if somehow I was put in a stressful situation.
I once heard a story where a substitute for a PE teacher in a really low income school I was at slapped a student and the student was provoking him and even taking his finger and shoving it an inch in front of the subs eyes without touching him. The school called the police and the sub was taken to jail. I knew that you are never allowed to do what that sub did but was also angry at the school because they can put subs in really bad situations. It just worked out that I was about to finish my teaching credential at that time. So, I decided never to work at that very low income school district again after that day. I had had a couple of close calls where students were lying about what I had done. I would bring diet coke cans to work and once a girl said she was going to say that I was drinking beer. Also, a girl that had a crush on me came to me and told me she was pregnant and she was like 13 years old. She told me that she didn't know what to do. So I told the principal to help get her services and the principal investigated whether I was father. The investigation was just asking the girl and she told the truth, but being around crazy shit like that is why I spend hours a day searching for sub assignments at schools I feel ok with.

Sometimes you hear a verdict in such an issue once in a while, and it seems like the US judidicary system is pretty tought on such subjects.
Even though, in such situations where violence happens from a teacher towards a student, maybe sometimes it even might appear pretty human to you. Because some really know the drill to get you blow your top, or they rather aim for doing this. You know, trying for your limits, how much they can do until you fight back, and parents and society forgot to teach that to these children, so takes up until you come until they finally receive a response that they're not entitled to do everything.
Good luck I'm not in that position. I wouldn't be the one to have that patience, I think.
I think it makes a great difference if you already had your deep problems with people in that age when you were as young yourself. This wouldn't end well. No matter the consequences.
