Yep, there's got to be a direct link between the faculty and this beating. I doubt very much that those other kids got their instructions from their "two daddies" (or whatever) - this was something that originated in that school.
I'm thinking it was something along the lines of: "See that kid over there? Everyone will have to go to school seven days a week because of his father."
It had to be something that those kids felt personally... I just have a tough time believing that Mom (or Dad)'s bedroom proclivities mattered so much - to that many of his classmates - all at the same time.
Someone was whispering in those kids' ears. I hope someone finds out who it was.
It sure seems like anything short of what you are saying would be pretty illogical. And it goes right in line with liberal thinking. Brainwash kids into spewing liberal bilge and then pretend they were just acting on their own thoughts and feelings. That's how liberals work and defend themselves.
