My daughter punched a bully and I refuse to make her apologize 😡

My daughter punched a bully in the face at school today. Honestly, my first reaction was probably not what the school expects from a parent. Now, her teacher made writing an apology letter her homework assignment, and I am absolutely fuming about it. Here's the thing: this bully, "Joe," has been making my daughter's life miserable. The teachers know about it, the principal knows about it, and they have done absolutely nothing to stop it. They just let this kid torment others. So, am I wrong for telling the teacher my daughter isn't doing it? Because if she writes anything, it's going to be something like this: "I am sorry I am in a class where the teacher teaches children to be victims. I am sorry that I go to a school that actively promotes bullying by punishing kids who defend themselves. I am not sorry for what I did to Joe. If there's a next time, it will be a lot more than a single punch." I raised my daughter to stand up for herself. This whole situation is just disgusting. I am so tired of schools punishing victims instead of dealing with the actual problem.
