I'd like you to read this article:
http://www.fox59.com/news/wxin-greensburg-student-suicide-091310,0,1101685.story
No-one knows whether this poor kid was gay or not, and, frankly, it is irrelevant. If he was then he never got to find out the joys of being a gay man. If he was not then he never got to find out the joys of being a heterosexual man.
He was bullied to death at a school with a track record of bullies.
The Principal was unaware that this boy was bullied, but knew bullying took place.
So that is obviously just fine, isn;t it. Anyway, he was probably another goddammed fag, so it doesn't matter that much.
Except that what he was is a 15 year old BOY. And he was tortured enough emotionally to go and kill himself.
Did he change his mind after he hung on the rope, waiting to die, waiting to suffocate? Can you imagine that?
And the Principal knew bullying took place in his school.
The person whose life he was going to change by being loved never got the chance to know him.
And the Principal knew bullying took place in his school.
Tell me, who has the responsibility for making school a safe place and time for kids?
Ah yes. The Principal. The man who knew that bullying took place in his school.
A school principal is wholly, unequivocally responsible for making his or her school a safe haven where learning takes place. It is a place of education. This principal, any principal, has a clear duty to ensure that bullying is known about and solved. As soon as bullying is known about then serious work must happen in order to solve it. I speak as a former bullied kid and asa former bully, and the parent of a bullied son.
The Principal knew bullying took place in his school.
But he was probably a fag kid. They don't amount to much, do they? I mean, it's not as if he was going to fuck his wife, like a good Republican would. (Check Bill Maher out sometime)
I try, here, to provide somewhere where like minded folk gather who might just be able to reach out and do even a little in the cause of making the world safer for our kids. That's 'our' even if you have none yourself.
