A Perversion Of Justice?

My son did not start any fight, he was attacked for saying it the school confirmed this and stated you are not allow to say your straight.

Your son should definitely be able to say he was straight. I expect the fight was the problem.

Sorry I read the previous post incorrectly.

Sharon - nice to hear from you - here's the point I am trying to make - a lot of people are born with abnormalities - be it homosexuality, transgender, pedophilic, extremely violent temper, alcohol addiction . etc. - these people have a burden no doubt and but need to resist the tendencies that they have because they are wrong - I personally think that homosexual behavior is wrong and I don't want someone pushing to make it normal and ok - there are pedophiles who are born with that tendency - I don't think we should accept their behavior because they were born that way - many people speak of tolerance as a good thing but it isn't when you tolerate something bad - If anything I feel sorry for someone who has to deal with these issues but I can't sanction bad behavior - we must realize that millions of people are born with burdens - blind, crippled, mental problems .etc - you do what is right and make the best of it

Very interesting perspective. I'll think on that.

If that was my son and the principal gave me that answer I would not accept it and would go higher up the chain of command - to the bishop if necessary because that is a lot of BS - we can't let this attitude creep into the Schools - people need to speak up -

A few years back while my daughter was in highschool she successfully defended herself from an attack by a much larger girl, they were both suspended and the incident went on their permanent record. I appealed it with the Vice Principal and the school board and got nowhere after 3 days even with a teacher that witnessed the event that said my daughter did nothing to provoke the other student and tried to walk away. The Vice Principal's position was that the Champ did such a great job of defending herself she deserved a 7 day suspension.

So true.
JoePa, that is the problem with society, if you speak up and the left don't agree, they become offended, attack cancel and do everything they can to silence those who speak up.
Thats whats needed, more people get real and speak up against these leftist ideologies, that hurt more then it helps.

So I am not new to this, I did not go to the principal as my son did not want anything to start. Had something happen several years ago with the other son and he did hit someone who deserved it. He saw another student breaking into a locker he asked the kid to get away the kid stopped and grabbed my son around the neck (Caught on video) my son gave him a good fist in the head and dropped him.

At the first the School only told me my son hit someone. After talking to my son and then the school I found out the real details, the locker the kid was breaking into was the most bullied kid in the school and the kid trying to break in was his bully. My son told him to get away from the locker or he would go to the principal, the kid then grabbed my son around the throat, my son knew he could take the bully and hauled off and hit him. I told the principal my son deserved a cupcake, he would have gotten a cake if he had hit him 3 times real good.

I have a policy if you attack me and I feel I can take you "You become my personal property to do with as I see fit.". I don't and never have started a fight I just finish them.

No I don’t.

How much to you think we spend on the consequences of various “mental health” issues, be it substance abuse or other. That frankly are ignored.

Say the word. Physical ailment like diabetes, Chrones, Cancer, a cold, broken bone. And everyone gets that. Say your suffering from a chemical imbalance and your treated like a freak...with little support. We are also I imagine talking about a very very small percentage of the population. God forbid we help, or comprehend “yay but for the grace of god”.. walk a mile imo.

Debt/taxes et al.
Yep. Are you suggesting there aren’t 1,000 other things we spend too much on, where real money could be saved...

You must be.

I am truly sorry to have read that your daughter had a terrible experience that that no child should ever have to endure.

Back the topic at hand, the state should not be in the business of preventing parents from being parents. As Mark said with his tattoo story, there an awful lot of things that a kid decides to do which are regretted later.

Back to the other part of our posts: there are many people who are anxious /self-conscious about their weight or appearance....is the taxpayer responsible for rectifying every problem that everyone has ?? Is OHIP going to start paying for breast implants or other plastic surgery so that we can all be completely happy with ourselves??

This left wing garbage is destroying Western society.

I had a similar incident with a grand child a few years ago where he was being assaulted by a school bully that teachers and principals were well aware of,but,for whatever reason,were afraid to tend to. My grandson took care of the brat (humiliation in front of everyone works wonders) the way he was taught and the bullying ended,permanently. When we attended the interview,the Principal was quickly brought up to speed,too. With bullies and bureaucrats,silence is acquiescence and acceptance. Never keep silent.
