Reply #46: Wrong Question [View All]

[REP]

Why are we paying for teachers and staff who do nothing to stop bullying, which effects gay and straight students? Why do we pay for schools that do nothing to stop bullying? Why aren't bullies separated and stigmatized, or at least given some sort of behavior modification treatment?

How many of these bullies are being abused at home? Why not work to stop the abuse at home and stop them from acting out at school? How many of these bullies have psychological problems that are not being addressed that will come back to haunt us all?

The answer is to not reinforce the idea that gays are so different, so egregious that they must be kept separate. To give that answer is to simply not be paying attention.
