If the government school system can’t prevent this crap, it should be abolished, period.
Public education = Epic FAIL. They first FORCE kids into a multi-cultural stew, then fail to monitor behavior. Kids are understandably insecure in such a setting and settle into clanish behavior for protection. You're either 'cool' or 'uncool' ie. a 'dork' or whatever names they use today.
Woe to the kid who is a loner, has anything physically different, dresses 'funny', etc. I recall at my high school, one boy with cerebral palsey was ostracized just for this reason alone, another girl whose mother dressed her in old fashioned long dresses was a pariah.

Today it's all gangs and a (expletive) dangerous place to send your kid. Especially if he or she excels. In my considered opinion, the fundamental thing that needs to be done to de-liberalize this country is to
Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse do not become “okay” just because someone under 18 is doing it. It’s not okay just because it’s in a state-run institution, either.

Too attractive, too charming, too perky, too humerous (everyone has taken my jokes the wring way), anything that makes you stand out.
