The Tawana Brawley factor is so obvious these days that it’s easy to miss.

The bullies are the gay rights activists. Anyone who would rip apart his own Bible has a problem with what he sees there, and not with someone else.

Two things:
1) If he wants to rip HIS Bible, then no one cares. It is yours, if you don’t want to follow it, don’t; it is your soul to screw up.
2) It sounds like he was disrupting class and not allowing the teacher to teach. THAT is why he was suspended - NOT his ripping of his Bible and certainly NOT for being gay (although you know he and the LGBTQ#US groups are going to try and play that card)!

Re 2:
Looks like it had been a well-used Bible (or perhaps it was passed down to him from a relative). Sorry to hear that he chose to denigrate the 'lamp unto his feet, and the light unto his path' and to instead walk in the way of darkness.
'Bullying' -- there is an overused word for you. Disagree with me - and you are a bully. Warn me of the danger of living in sin ('the broad way that leadeth to destruction -- where many go in thereat'), and telling me not to be deceived (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God) - and you are a hater or a bully...
More watering-down of the English Language by PC-speak.

You cannot practice habitual sin such as homosexuality and be saved. Christ abides within a believer. Gods very word tells us homosexuality is a sin. Gids word endures forever, ask King Jehoiakim.

should have been Gods not GIDS

At my high school, some kids like to say that being gay is a sin and that you cant be gay and Christian, Smith said. I wanted to bring my Bible to school and interpret the books of Leviticus and Romans, because they are often used to bully gay people. I'm sure there are some adulterers, thieves and murderers who would like to bring their Bibles and re-interpret the Scriptures that condemn their actions too.
The problem isn't the kids and their interpretations. The problem is what the Bible clearly says and this fellow's inability to accept it.
He can either repent his homosexuality or he can find a new religion. He doesn't get to misrepresent a religion in order to deny what it clearly says.

...when the 18-year-old Birdville High School senior spoke out for gay rights in class this week after he said he was bullied ripping apart his Bible to make a point it earned him a three-day suspension. Smith said the suspension is unfair and that he intends to sue the district to remove the disciplinary action from his record. An attorney from the American Humanist Association has taken on his case for free. Ping for later

He doesn't get to misrepresent a religion in order to deny what it clearly says. He certainly has the right to misrepresent it...just as others have the right to point out that he's incorrect.
