National news does seem a bit over the top, but with the emphasis on bullying these days, an adult that abets that kind of behavior against a child needs to be called to account.
With the thought Nazis focused on bullying these days ..
My brothers and I were the anti-bullies in our schools. We would not allow it in our presence. In today’s world of zero-tolerance of any trait suggesting manhood or masculinity, we would not have graduated.
We are raising a generation of wussies. I particularly am incensed by the “I won’t stand for” ads. Oh really? You won’t stand for something? Riiiiiight.
We need to remove the dick-licker from office and return to American values, accomplish conflict resolution through self-governance in school and the workplace. Bullies were not permitted by the so-called bullied. There were always more than a few of us who were willing to kick some a$$holes a$$ when needed. And, there was no one to tell us we weren’t “appropriate”. The teachers knew we were merely self-regulating our environment. The teachers appreciated that we did.
