The Federal government is more likely to see a ‘civil rights’ violation where none exists. Get ready for families to get crushed when their kid uses an epithet during an argument or a physical altercation.

Yep and I suppose if you are just fat, ugly, awkward, geeky, or a nerd they don’t give a damn. This identity politics crap is just manipulation to bully everyone to acceptance of the unacceptable.

As long as they’re white.

What if you’re bullied at school for “acting white” because you hand in your math homework every day?

Exactly. Why can’t we try to stop all bullying, not just that of protected classes?

I was bullied pretty consistently for 10 years and I have little tolerance for the common FR opinion that somehow it is acceptable. I have a sneaking suspicion those who feel this way were bullies themselves.

Such behavior will not be tolerated in adult life, why should it be tolerated in schools?

But this whole protected groups bit is the wrong way to go about it.

Hmmmm...what could the solution be to getting bullied because you’re gay?

Government intervention?
New anti-discrimination laws?
Counseling and recrimination for the bully?

How about this radical idea.....

MAN UP and stop acting like a damn fruit!!!!!!!!!

(I know...I’m SO insensitive.)

I wonder how likely Eric's DOJ is to enforce anti-bullying laws against people of a certain protected racial category?

What about being bullie for being small? Not so bright? Stuttering?

Why aren’t the school authorities doing something about bullying, in general?

When I was in school, the teachers didn’t want you to come to them with tales of being bullied, “Nobody likes a tattle-tale” was the cry. Yet, if you defended yourself, both of you were suspended.

When my daughter was in elementary school, a young, black thug was sitting behind her, bullying her. We went to the school authorities, and got nothing. And the principal was a personal friend of the family.

It was only after one teacher personally saw this hoodlum stick a pin (not pen) into her shoulder that the bully was transferred to another school.

We all know this is BS.
Mostly it’s about punishing anyone who expresses opposition to homosexuality being punished for that belief.

No actual person is being “bullied”,
except, of course, for the person expressing his opposing belief.
