There's another reason for why no one in the classroom protested the injustice!!
They have been taught, their entire lives, to respect and obey someone in a perceived position of "authority"!!
As children, we literally "look up" to adults who are more knowledgeable and physically powerful than we are and ... who enhance their power with punishments and rewards!! So, we learn to obey the more powerful person!!
Very few of us are taught to trust and develop our own powers of "critical thinking"!! We, therefor, are at the mercy of anyone who wants to deceive us!!
If you are never taught how to block or avoid a punch (and perhaps perform a counter-punch)... then you are at the mercy of anyone who wants to punch you!!!
