what if the kid, instead, took an ad out in the newspaper and stated the guy was a drug addict or wife abuser?
Not what happened. I just saw a movie called "The Chorus". The teacher leaves the room for a few minutes to return to a caricature of him on the chalk board and the student that did it still drawing.
He proceeds to draw a caricature of said student to the laughter of the whole class.
The cure for offensive speech is more speech.
