California has some of the nation's most liberal anti-discrimination, anti-bullying and "diversity" laws, including several that apply to schools and took effect on Jan. 1. Wasted money.

Well Kev, your head has certainly been in something for too long. Doubt it would pass for sand though.

What about the bullying done by LESBIANS, to straights?

No excuse for a shooting, but the kid was a little more than “gay”. He wore dresses, high-heels, lipstick, and fingernail polish to school.

Ten years after Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered because of his sexual orientation, a 15-year-old gay California student is brain dead after a student allegedly shot him because of his sexual orientation and gender expression," the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network said in a news release. Once every 10 years. This is nearly epidemic.

What is the ‘difference’ in punishment between cold-blooded, premeditated murder of someone you love and cold-blooded premeditated murder of someone you hate?

The shooting victim, in fact, was engaging in bullying and harassment of his non-homosexual classmates.
That doesn't justify shooting the kid, but the school district officials who allowed his harrassing behavior should bear most of the responsibility.

If I'm ever on a jury that hears a "hate crime" case I will,regardless of how serious the underlying crime is,vote "not guilty" on any "hate crime" charge.If a white guy assaults a black guy...or a woman...or a homosexual...I will consider the evidence presented as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant and will cast my vote accordingly.
But *****NO***** "hate crime" conviction with any jury on which I sit.

"We must confront the fact that LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] students are much more likely to be threatened with a weapon and much more likely to feel unsafe at school than other students," Jennings said.
More than overweight students? I seem to remember the 'fat' kids getting picked on quite a bit. And you can't be 'in the closet' or be secretive about being overweight. Basic reality: Kids are cruel to any other child that deviates from the boilerplate, be it weight, nerdiness or the fact that they're a frigging cross dresser. The idea that they would somehow insinuate that gay kids are more worthy of bullying protection than other bullied kids is infuriating. They might say "we're not insinuating that!" and my response is simply they did the moment they made this about orientation instead of 'bullying' in general. I see the word "agenda" written all over this: because they don't care about kids getting bullied, they care about THEIR kids getting bullied. And when you advocate for a slice of people that identify with you rather than addressing the larger problem, that's an agenda.

The sick freak didn't belong in school. He belonged in a mental institution. So do his "parents". As far as the degenerates wanting to crucify a 14 year old child for this; I would expect nothing less from them.
If the situation were reversed and the freak had killed the straight kid, they would have a million excuses why the freak shouldn't be punished.
The kid should not be tried as an adult.
The administration should be put on trial for letting such abominable sick costume displays n school. When kids are allowed to act out their pathologies, nothing good results.

He should have shot the parents..../sarc. Seriously, why would parents allow this. My three boys better not come home and ask to wear makeup and women’s clothes. I might have a heart attack. However, at 18 they can do whatever but not under my roof.

Didn't you know? When you're one of the Chosen, your right to self-expression is sacrosanct. It doesn't matter than Jimmy can't wear his heavy metal band tshirt. He doesn't belong to a group that capitalizes a pronoun. ("Us").

His daily parade of his sexuality through the use of clothing, make up and so forth is, in fact, harrassment.
Remember, these kids are forced by state law to attend these schools. It's the school's choice to inflict sexual offense on the kids.
Obviously one young child was harrassed to the point he felt it necessary to defend himself with a firearm.
