This was not bullying. Bullying is a repeated series of acts of intimidation and denigration. I haven’t seen anything about that in the story. No, this was a criminal assault, by feral black kids on a defenseless white kid.
The feral kids are learning their useful life skills in a public school; skills that will be essential to the the trade they intend to practice in life.
Interesting way to put it. And the kids of the other half are learning the coping skills of who they are going to be in life -- their victims.
