Pete-

I'm talking about actual battery. It happens all the time. THere is no high school in AMerica where there aren't a handful of kids who are regularly beaten up. And being called a name is one thing. Being repeatedly taunted by the majority of other students is another. Once again -- would you expect your wife to go to a job where ten of her male co-workers regularly called her a "S-L-U-T" or would you demand that action be taken.

"I think one of the most importnat lessons we can teach kids today is that the world is not a perfect place. Sometimes people are going to call you names. Sometimes things are goping to happen that aren't nice."

FUnny- I think one of the most importnat lessons we can teach kids is that society's rules should protect everyone equally. Some actions aren't acceptable -- not even if you're the captain of the football team.
