As to your scenari...I wish there were easy answers. As to your scenario of the kid with the filthy shirt, I can readily say that the problem is due to the fact that as an openly gay boy, he can whip out the victim card any time he chooses. You just know that he wore that shirt with the express intent to provoke, with the pre-meditated purpose of crying 'foul'. It would seem that if one has the stones to be openly defiant or confrontational, they ought to have equal conviction to put up with the outrage of those he intended to outrage. I am quite sure that his defenders are praising him for his "courage" in the face of victimization. But, is it really courage to act out and then wither away like a poor defenseless kitten when he gets what he was clearly asking for? <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, when are teachers, administrators, and parents going to realize that school is not open society? They are not democracies, just like places of business are not democracies. I would love to see some real discipline applied towards teaching worthwhile things in preparation for the cold reality of life, rather than pushing the agenda of protecting feelings and egos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
