student reprimanded for tackling a knife wielding classmate

What is this world coming to???...The "hero" student is being reprimanded for doing the right thing. Soon, everyone will just turn their backs on things happening around them because they are "afraid" of the consequences (sp) of "getting involved". WHAT A CROCK OF BULL MUFFINS. JMO.
I don't think so- I bet that kid would still do the right thing even if he knew he'd get in trouble for it (and he'll get enough positive reinforcement for this that he'll know he did the right thing even if the school's 'official policy' disagrees).
