But it is. I doubt anyone alive today can deny being bullied at some point. The readers of/. probably took/take more abuse than the general populace. The reason this belongs here is that concerns EVERYONE and turning a blind eye to it is stupid. I expect comments like these on message boards frequented by the dregs of the internet, but not here. One would THINK that the term nerd is at least somewhat synonymous with intelligent. Even moderately intelligent.
Ignoring actions like these only makes the next step more likely. If kids are being thrown out for things like this, then tomorrow it will be idle threats. After that will be "suspicions" of
"thoughts" of wrongdoing. In the end, the blatant disregard of human rights in public schools will be enforced by the police or even military. What we will be left with is an educational system that only caters to those adhering to the government's model of a "good human being."
Now, does the Nazi-esque comparison read loud and clear or do I need to spell it out more?
