They are protected. They are a subdivision of the homosexuals.
Nope, but I'm only in my mid-40s.
I remember my late father's attitude on a great many things, so I'm confident such a time existed.
It must have been nice!
Not in this world.
What about being Bullied at College for being Conservative?
You’d have to look long and hard to find someone who was *not* bullied consistently for 10 years in school.
The problem I have with anti-bullying measures in school is the definition of “bullying”. Most folks probably agree that physical aggression and direct personal degradation are out of bounds.
On the other side of the coin is perceived or “soft” bullying, which is where the problem comes in. I saw a presentation on bullying at my children’s grade school a few months back. These days, just not including someone in your conversation circle is considered bullying!
Imagine that! If I don’t want to talk to you, I’m bullying you. That’ll play out well, won’t it? And to say that it’s not tolerated in adult life, is just BS. If I don’t want to have a conversation with someone, I won’t and no Justice Department employee is going to say otherwise. Same goes for my kids.
Hard bullying, fine, ban it, it already is banned under other names (assault, hazing, menacing). Soft bullying, well, I’d suggest people teach their kids to use it as life lesson instead of running off to the nanny state over it.
There has to be a way to get this to work. How about if they are fat white Christian and gay. Can we bully them yet?
I was unaware the definition had changed so much. I was speaking of “hard” bullying.
I would have been thrilled if they’d just left me alone.
My point was that true “assault, hazing, menacing” is often accepted in schools when it wouldn’t be in a workplace, for instance. Or at least it was 35 years ago.
This is such a ridiculous statement.
Child molesters deserve to be respected for who they are.
Wife beaters deserve to be respected for who they are.
Poisoners deserve to be respected for who they are.
People who eat their own feces deserve to be respected for who they are.
People who burn kitties alive for fun deserve to be respected for who they are.
Need I go on ?
It's not "who they are". It's WHAT THEY DO !!
What if you’re bullied at school for being straight, or for being a geek, or fat, or maybe short?
Will the DOJ be stepping in?
Excellent post.
The Federal Government is telling children that anal sex “gets better”????????
A doctor should be the next guest of that school...and take those kids on a walk thru a ward with young homosexuals who cannot even hold their feces in anymore, FGS!
What the heck is going on here? Do these parents know what this school is doing?
