In many ways, the social pathology seen in schools resembles the prison social pathology. And....I strongly suspect that teachers and principals use bullying to control cowering students in the same way that prison guards allow and use prison gang bullies.
As for the latest government push on stopping bullying, don't believe it for a minute! It is merely an Orwellian version of bullying. This time it is cruelly dressed in manipulative “doublespeak”. The Orwellian anti-bullying is merely permission for politically correct gangs to terrorize. These government protected gangs carry the official Marxist government imprimatur for official thought-crime bullying. Homosexuals love this. The kids’ minds are scrambled by the government and then served up to the homosexual predators that populate the schools. Hm! Yum! /s
According to the government, only gays are bullied.
