Can I add that you wander into a mine field when you call teasing bullying.

I think we mostly agree on that. Simple teasing is generally a different and less serious matter than bullying. For the most part it doesn't really warrant a response.

I find it highly suspect when all the examples always come up defending homosexuality or gender confusion. That's not addressing bullying at all. That's having a poltiical and social agenda.

Perhaps. I think this case is newsworthy because of the unique and entertaining solution to bullying, not because of the (remote) possibility of homosexuality being involved.

What if he came to school in this:

Tease or not tease? How much should we force kids to overlook?
