This is one of the most outrageous acts of a school about which I've read.
My youngest daughter, as a freshman in a "top 5" California school, was grabbed by the throat and strangled in a well feigned attack.
The teacher said "I wanted you to feel what it was like to be surprise attacked." The context was in physical education/self defense.
The psychology of being attacked by a trusted or worse an authority figure are well documented; psychological attacks are legal in California.
The schools of Northern Cal have, built in, vehicles for organized Mobbing, that here is euphemized as group bullying.
