The Indianapolis Star reports that a gay student (at Indianapolis Tech High School) was
suspended and may be expelled for bringing and fake-firing a taser at school,
after his mother gave him the taser, because he didn’t feel safe from the
bullies.
Yet, the principal, in remarks to the press, stressed the
behavior of “dressing like a girl” as bringing on the taunts.
The mother stood behind her son, African American. The story
is (wesbite url) here.
Dr. Phil appeared on Monday on the “The View” and was
critical of the behavior of many parents, including bullies’ parents, for
leaving kids the impression that life is about social combat in a pecking
order.
I was teased from about third to ninth grades (1950s). Once or twice I "fought with my fingernails" and could have inflicted real injury, in seventh grade. But teachers were indifferent. But I got in trouble in ninth grade for verbal abuse in a time when disability was not looked at the way it is today.

In another development Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden told
Meet the Press that he is comfortable with gay marriage, with story by Carrie
Dann here. The president's position is still "evolving".
It’s a matter of equality and “who you love”.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told NBC’s “Morning Joe”
that he agrees with Biden’s position.
See Saturday, April 28 for extra note about referendum Tuesday in North Carolina. MSNBC says it pits Bill Clinton against Billy Graham. I'll stay tuned on this.
