   > My experience made something painfully clear: violence against educators has become so normalized that society now treats it as an expected part of teaching.

   I don’t think this is normalized at all.

   Something about the ad-riddled website and way this is written makes me wonder if this is even a real article.

      Serious question. Do you know any teachers, especially any special education teachers? They all have stories about the violence they receive, and a lot of them.

         Special Ed is a special case- those kids are specifically segregated because they cannot be taught at grade level or be expected to behave safely for their size.

            It happens more often in special education, but non special ed teachers have plenty of stories too. Also, special ed teachers are not some underclass and are also deserving of a safe workplace.
