They expelled her. That seems crazy if it is her first incident. Suspension sure.

More importantly, how did the school address the bullying? Did the person who made it see any consequences? Did she report it and did the school ignore it? All of those matter.

From the article:

Attorney Miller said school leaders at Sixth Ward Middle School failed to address the girl’s complaints about the circulating image, despite her reporting it to school leaders.

“The school board’s actions in this case are reprehensible,” Miller said. “My client’s daughter was begging them all day to put a stop to this. Not only did they not put a stop to it, they put [her] on the bus with the perpetrator.”

When the girl saw the photo being shared again on the school bus, she hit the boy who she said was responsible for creating it. She was later expelled from the school.

and

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said one student was charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence in September.

The sheriff noted that additional arrests and charges are possible.

Seems like she has a pretty strong case. The girl's dad seems more reasonable than most these days:

Despite the situation, Daniels said he holds no animosity toward the boy accused of creating the photo or his family.

“Honestly, I have no ill will towards that young man or his family. Kids are kids, and they do dumb things just like adults do. So, especially at that age, they don’t comprehend the severity of what they do,” Daniels said.

Dad seems like a real G. Stood up for his daughter, and showed empathy and understanding towards the kid instead of a lust for vengeance

With the full context, no. The girl should not be punished as she very clearly informed the school of the problem, they ignored it. They are trying to frame her as the perpetrator to cover their own asses for doing nothing in a sexual harassment case.
