what happens in this state if you bully someone for some other reason other than sexual orientation? 

Obviously you'd get more than a 3 day suspension. It was premeditated violent assault after all.


hang on, "obviously you'd get more than a 3 day suspension"... why would beating up someone for any particular reason other than because the victim is homosexual get more than a 3 day suspension?

... I beat someone so he had to go to hospital and I didn't even get suspended. Don't get me wrong, I think the attack is horrible and I obviously feel sorry for the boy but I'm just unaware of how a normal beating would have been treated.


most schools round these parts have zero tolerance policies for violence and this kid would be expelled.

if this was my son who got attacked i'd solve it with a balaclarva and a baseball bat

the only way to stop a bully is to play them at there own game

Actually that often just ends up escalating the violence with the seriousness of the injuries getting progressively worse...

But wait, Bully encouraged homosexuality. You got an achievement for kissing 20 boys.

Someone onbviously failed to tell that to this particular bully.

Maybe he'll get it on his next playthrough.

That is overly generous. I have yet to receive my achievement for not kissing a girl in the last 26 years (no homo).

My lifescore suffers :D

Bullying is a too broad term really. It was premeditated assault, and he only got a 3 day suspension. In my country if you beat someone up at school like that you'd get expelled, and the police would probably get involved, as assault is a criminal offence. Assault is also a criminal offence in the US. Such a deed would warrant harsher punishment than getting suspended for 3 days (not even 1 week). Of course the victim was gay, so the principal probably thought he 'had it coming'.

You know this for a fact?

if true then clearly this punishment is riduculous.

However, if this is in line with other bullying punishments at this school then the fact that it is gay bullying doesnt make it worse than say race bullying or bullying someone because they have a big nose. 

Bullying is just as horrendous for the victim regardless of the motive.

This punishment is ridiculous regardless, considering that the bully commited a criminal offence (physical assault), and also a hate crime (he assaulted the victim for being gay). Bullying is too broad of a term as just teasing isn't illegal and it woudl be pretty hard to punish that. However, if you don't properly punish bullies when they commit actual violent criminal acts, then how do you expect to stop bullying?
