Bullying in any context is horrible. Schools everywhere struggle with this kind of crap. Not to say this kid didn't go through hell or that this school doesn't need to take care of the problem. Rather, it's something society at large needs to address.

I'm half tempted to go there and hand out free salami sandwiches to any and all takers.
Moar fundamentalists providing horrifying lulz.

Where do you want them to go. Maybe they can move to Iran or Saudi Arabia. Sorry; this pissed me off as an Aussie who believes strongly in multiculturalism. I'll respect your way of life if you respect mine. |

I just had a shouting match with my brother over this article. He's pretty convinced that all of the American Muslims need to be rounded up and kept apart from the rest of America "until the war is over"- just like the Japanese-Americans in WWII. I turned it around on him and asked whether he'd agree that all Christians are jerkasses and need to be quarantined because of the Christian terrorists (like Timothy McVeigh) and Christians who call for gays to be killed, etc.
He got all hissy and said "Well, what kind of Christian was that guy? And Christians ARE persecuted and made fun of and separated from the rest of society!" He's 14 years old and doesn't even watch FOX News. >_<

I love it how when you ask them to turn it around, put a muslim kid being beaten up by christian kids for something, it's always, "No that is different, quit trying to confuse the issue!"

I care because the areas around where I live have a high asian population concentration. Plus there are several students at my school (before I finished) that refused to learn english as well. And one of them joined the book club |

I'm not too fussy otherwise. |
