Who is forcing this kids parents to change his name?
LOL
Give him a Rapper name, AR-15.
The point of the article is that the “anti bullying campaigns” in schools were started and promoted by lgbtq activists to protect lgbtq students. Many schools will do little to nothing when bullying occurs, except if it concerns lgbtq students. Add the fact that most school administrators and teachers are liberals/leftists, and it’s not surprising that this kid was a target.
My kids school operates much the same. Posters, talks and all the jazz there.. but nothing is done about the actual problem. Every little thing is now labeled bullying. Don’t agree? Bullying!!! Is sad and part of the group think programming.
My 14 year old is built like an adult. Gets picked on constantly. Won’t submit to the group think bs. Finally the kid said enough, if the school won’t stop this I will.. and they laid a real bully out. I was called part of the problem when I told school “administrators” it was about time someone did something about the problem and I was glad it was my kid that did it.
What’s even better, at least for my kid. The problem stopped.
Not a sham. Happened in Delaware which is a real blue state area infested by transplants from places like NJ and NY.
Not shocked that kids would pick on him (kids take their leads from adults) but the parents and school administrators who do nothing to stop this type of behavior disgust me.
"He said he hates himself, and he hates his last name, and he feels sad all the time, and he doesn't want to live feeling like that anymore, and as a parent that's scary," said Megan.
Mayer says after a recent meeting with Joshua's parents, there was an investigation. He says five students were identified and disciplined.
"They were apologetic and they did say that they were sorry," Mayer said.
This kid needs a visit from the president.
Principal apologizes after 6th graders tasked to draw fictional addict's 'mug shot'

A sixth grade health class assignment that required students to write about a fictional drug addict reaching rock bottom and to draw their “mug shot” or picture has led the principal to apologize that it “missed the mark.”
The worksheet used at Talley Middle School was called “Who’s on Drugs!” and followed more than a week of classroom work about the prevalence of drug addiction, Principal Mark Mayer wrote Tuesday in a letter to the “Talley Family” posted on the school’s Facebook page.
The task “was intended to make students think critically about how widespread the problem is and how there is no one ‘face’ of addiction or one type of person who is affected by addiction,” Mayer wrote.
“Unfortunately, though its intentions were good, an assignment related to this topic missed the mark for some families. For that, I apologize. In the future, more thought and care will be given to ensure that all assignments lead to their intended outcomes, in this case, relevant, honest and open conversations about addiction.”
Talley Middle School is part of Brandywine School District, where spokeswoman Alexis Andrianopoulos said Superintendent Mark Holodick supports Mayer’s letter.
Holodick is “pleased that the principal has used feedback from this assignment to create positive learning opportunities for students,’’ Andrianopoulos said.
Mayer wrote that he understood some parents were “caught off guard at home. I recognize that this is a very sensitive topic and some families would prefer to know in advance that it is being discussed at school.”
Mayer added in his letter that he is working with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to host a forum next month entitled “Trends and Threats Among Students.”
“I hope your BSD community will take of the opportunity to learn more about this topic,” he wrote.
Right - the point was the posted article was written like it was a sham - you had to verify it by drilling down. Lousy article.
