    Knowing how a good amount of these kids are raised now by right wing assholes, it's fair to assume thing turned a LOT worse

    Crybullying is a tactic we let work far too often.

    Depends on the situation, but schools act in loco parentis, assuming the responsibility of the parent while the child is in their custody.

    The legal argument, which has been upheld by courts, is that parents don't have to respect 1st amendment rights regarding the discipline of their children, so therefore schools don't either.

    And it makes sense if you think about it. A kid shouldn't be able to disrupt class, sling racial slurs, verbally assault another student or teacher, etc. with impunity. The situation in the article is a prime example of this.

    I also found out the hard way that they don't have to respect your 5th and 6th amendment rights either, as I was questioned without being read my rights, and that was used against me in court.

    Everyone else surprised that a school district would take any action at all against any bully, let alone one bullying a trans student.

    This has gone too far. Conservative media has just become purposeless cruelty. Bullying in any form shouldn't be allowed in school. Its obviously not only inhumane to allow that shit but its a liability for schools.

    They get triggered if the wind blows the wrong direction. Fuck em.

    School bullies are tolerated for the same reason police tolerate the proud boys. The Christian agenda is to raise their kids to be Christian Soldiers terrorizing Queer kids and we're apparently supposed to go along with letting it happen. Fuck that.

    As usual, the cruelty is the point!

    Looks like it's been misreported as one male saying in the locker room "there's a girl in here" and others saying they felt uncomfortable with a girl there. The school say there's more to it than media covered. Suspending a group for 10 days for expressing discomfort wouldn't be valid, but obviously that's not what happened

    Of course they are because cruelty is the point.

    I'm surprised they even noticed, trans men don't tend to exist to these bigots

    They were going to cause a problem no matter what the outcome was. Ignore.
