This is one of the worse landmines both police and the school could have stepped in, according to the article, this is a Jewish gay kid that hates being called queer, only said the statement that got him referred when being bullied and apparently has been targeted for bullying because he's both Jewish and Gay.
There was NO 'winning' this as this correctly pisses off EVERY group, if any of the police had a braincell they'd probably tell the school to shut the fuck up and handle the bullying as now they have even more heat directed to them a few days from an election.
That's probably why they punished him. Schools tend to punish bullying victims (from experience, lol), because they're "inconvenient". They would much prefer them to just shut up and take it. Just look at how the victim is often punished more when they physically fight back.
And on top of that, no one likes a hypocrite. So if you're a hypocrite and a bullying victim, you really make the school look bad, and so they are going to punish you.
Having said all that, calling the police for something like this makes the school look much, much worse...

Honestly, to be extremely cynical...
