Please, metmom, you KNOW that only straight kids are capable of bullying and only gay kids can be bullied. /s
A straight kid bullying a straight kid is not noteworthy, sadly. Bullying is only an issue if a minority is the victim.
Besides, I find myself wondering, not to be racist or anything, just being realistic: was the attacker a minority? Black? Muslim? Or even—gay? (can 7yr olds be gay, even?) Because if the attacker was a minority and the defender was white, then you know the school board is going to make a big deal over it.
And if the attacker is a minority, it’s almost certain that this fact will not be in the news.
I completely agree on all points.
