You wrote that didn't you? Intimating that this young man is being a pansie for sticking up for himself.

Why yes I did write that! The child is not sticking up for himself. The parents are making a big deal out of the situation. Again, read the quote I referenced in my original post.

The child can fight back. He can work hard, stop being a goofball in school, and earn the respect of his peers and teachers.

I'm not sure where you got the parents contacting the press but if true that is contemptible.

The media doesn't send people door to door looking for stories to report. Who else would have notified them?

"Why yes I did write that! The child is not sticking up for himself. The parents are making a big deal out of the situation."

So you are in fact calling the kid a sissy, which you previously denied, because somehow the 6th grader was supposed to fight against the teacher by himself. It is a big deal when someone in authority uses that power to humiliate those in their charge. Why should his parents be forced to pay teachers to humiliate their child. Don't you think they have a valid complaint?

He can work hard, stop being a goofball in school, and earn the respect of his peers and teachers.

Intimating that he did something to bring this down on himself...in effect suggesting that the person doing the bullying isn't really at fault.

Who else would have notified them?

Anyone. Why would you speculate and postulate to defend a bully? Why does the parents fighting back against the abuse of authority offend you so much?
