The school I went to had a teacher who would hang students out the window by their feet or slam them up against the locker and punch the locker in right next to their head if they misbehaved.

He had the most well behaved class of all the teachers. He rarely had to do anything, because he set the example loud and clear right up front. Don't **** around in Mr. Head's class. If you do, you are doomed. Period!

Does that mean they shouldn't try? What's the lesson for a kid who gets away with bullying another kid for being gay, too smart, too dumb, fat, athletically inept, or whatever?

Education is more than the core subjects of math, science, language, and social studies. Kids have to learn how to deal peacefully with kids who are different from them. If they're not educated about those differences, they can't interact successfully.

Same with sex ed. Education helps prevent teen pregnancy, STDs, etc. Ignorance makes them happen.

Not too difficult of a concept, is it?

How do you figure that?

Whoa. Irony. And so early in the morning.
The school can do what they would do for bullying for any other reason: punish the bully. Does it matter the reason they're being bullied? Is being bullied for being fat, ugly, poor, smelly better somehow than bullying for being gay?

Nowhere did I say bullying is OK. Schools don't give a chit. And nowhere did I say THAT'S Ok either. It's a fact.

I didn't get LGBTQ or CRT training. I guess I just should've been completely confused and stupefied when I first met a gay person or a black person? I mean, how DID I know what to do? The school never taught me. I probably just stood there, mouth agape, drooling, eyes huge ... what is THAT??? [sarcasm]

It's called being a human being. We were taught to be respectful. So we were. We didn't need a checklist to show us the approved stereotypical behaviors of how to treat everyone.
For example:
LGBTQ: kiss their feet and throw a parade
Black: pay reparations
White: insult and demean

We were taught: Be nice. Don't call names. Don't hit. Applies to EVERYONE YOU MEET.

Just wondering why people only care about LGBTQ kids getting bullied. /shrug/

Apparently it does matter. Only LGBTQ kids deserve protection.

The sheer idiocy is astonishing.

I hear it's a real problem in women only prisons. Women are starting to get pregnant.

How DID that happen?

You’re talking about individuals doing bad things, which of course isn’t the argument at all. The groomer label is because democrats want to teach small children at school about sexualized topics and gender issues, and they want to be able to do it without having to tell their parents.

We are using our normal sources. They are called "common sense."

Do you consider someone with 6 fingers on 1 hand normal? Is having 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye normal? Nope.

Does it happen? Yep. Is it normal? Nope.

Your post are devolving into the absurd.
And you post poses asinine questions based ONLY on your own bias.
