That isn't correct. Having a leaning towards ID makes you criminal, which means that your brain tells you to do the wrong thing, which is generally a form of schizophrenia/some severe forms of paranoia. A leaning towards superego turns you into rorschach. No explanation needed on the last one.
Those 3 are the main chemical instabilities in your brain besides bipolar disorder.
That entire statement is completely wrong, as is the way you view "being a man". You cant just google some pictures, and think you understand the entirety of Freuds theory. I think people have the right to defend themselves, but if they choose to do it passively or aggressively its their own choice, and has no bearing on how "big of a man" they really are. It's all about the cause behind the passive/aggressive reaction, and why you have them. If he doesnt fight back because he just NEED to, thats excellent. But if he doesnt fight back because he is scared shitless he is going to get beat up, then its bad.
Your kid had every right to defend himself from the attacker. But if they gave your child a handbook, and you had to agree upon those terms, and it stated that ANY violent action is grounds for suspension, then well, he is in the wrong. You blowing the entire thing out of proportion is what is truly wrong here. Comparing a school fight with innocent civilians dieing (on both sides of the iraqi war, and 9/11), is ignorant. What you should've done as a man and a parent is explain all of this to your kid, and let him stay home from school, and do whatever he wants, like a mini-vacation.
I bet your the type of person that laughs at the videos of the american soldiers making the iraqi kids say things about having sex with animals, and other stuff. You sir have failed to see the big picture here.
