You know, bullying like this continues, whether it's because of gay or whatever, because the same liberal teachers who love advocating won't give kids picked on the tools to not allow themselves to be singled out. My 7 year old is getting picked on currently. At some point, I'm done allowing the school to handle it and my son who outsizes his offenders quite a bit will be given the go ahead to defend himself. This is a liberal created problem for a whole host of reasons--encouraging kids to 'come out' so early(when many of them don't even know yet what they want to do for a living, but if they think they are gay, yep, it's a go), not allowing teachers the power of real discipline, and zero tolerance bullying policies that make victims into perpetrators if they fight back. So sick of the bs all around.
BTW, there should have been a conversation with your son too putting this into perspective. I've made sure to at least protect my child's emotional health by telling him that those kids are a reflection of their own idiot parent's upbringing. He is not to take the cackling of losers seriously and that his schooling is a very short time in his life. Get done what he needs and walk out with his head high. Defending him like a mom wants too isn't always going to produce what is needed. He needs the skills and confidence to overcome the stupidity of others too.
