And he makes himself right at home.

I have two nieces who get bullied at school about different things. One so bad that she is switching to online-only for the next school year.

Anti-bullying my fuckin ass. Schools aren't doing shit other than waving some flags around.

Teachers are trained to ignore the situation, punish both parties or whichever party they think is the problem, and move on. This tends to result in the victim being punished, simply because the victim is more likely to complain about their abuse than the abuser is to admit to it.

Why? Because if you were an underfunded educator being used as a glorified babysitter by the state, and constantly being accused of spreading communist propaganda when you tried to tell people with the Confederate War was bought over, whoever you think the problem is is whoever is speaking the loudest.

Or the teachers agree with the bully because they are racist/sexist/homophobic themselves.

My biggest bully was a teacher in high school who is in charge of the "special education" they made you take if you had to diagnosis the school system felt impacting your learning.

She was an ablest piece of shit who basically reveled in torturing her students.

I still remember going off on her when she tried to force me to read Bob the Builder in front of the class, despite the fact that I was the top of my Honors English class.

( we only had to take the special education class as one of our electives but dear God I hated it)
