You are correct, some kids and take it and some can not. However, no one should have to take it.
There is zero tolerance of this kind of stuff at any job. There is no way an employer would put up with kind of thing, unless they were begging to get sued. If an employers can protect employees, a school should be able to protect children. No child should be harassed and tormented for going to school.
As for the workplace, I agree with your comments. Here’s what I wrote to someone else, and it fits here too. I have a dilemma.
I believe you talk it down in the classroom and from the administration. I’m not against action being taken when it is observed. I just think our moral bastions the education system operatives these days, are utterly clueless as to how to respond in a reasoned manner.
Let’s remember that these are the same people who find it a-okay to teach young children to be tolerant of homosexuality, when they don’t even know all the secrets to heterosexual norms yet.
Look at our zero tolerance problem, “Hey he pointed a finger at me. It looked just like a gun.” “You can’t attend school here anymore...”
Talk about zero tolerance... how about something to address zero reason.
