Babes in Gunland

Nah, we don't have a problem in our schools. Gay baiting is not an issue at all. Besides it's what kids do. Right? Nope not at all. A young boy in Wisconsin recently shot and killed his principle. What I heard on National Public Radio this morning is that the child was repeatedly gay-bashed, called fag and faggot, and when he reported this to the principle, nothing was done. My guess is that he suffered a bit more from school mates, too.

So the kid shot him. Once in the head, then chest and then leg. The man died of his injuries.

Bashing happens consistently, pervasively. And seldom is anything done about it. In all the school shootings perpetrated by students the most common thread was gay-bashing. Whether the child shooters are gay is beside the point. What is the point is that child on child and teacher on child gay-baiting has to stop.

Children are dying for it to stop.
