Teaching tolerance comes to mind. It doesn't matter what I say, tho. Your opinion is already set in stone.
I'm facing a rather unique situation here, and I want to know 'what would sally do '?
My granddaughter is 12, somewhere around Christmas, a boy in her class decided that he liked her, and asked her out, even tried to kiss her several times. She declined and avoided the kisses (keep in mind, she's 12). Said boy then saw her hugging a female friend and decided she was a lesbian, he started verbally bullying her, sending her hateful texts, telling everyone who would listen that she was a dyke. It got to the point where she's developed ulcers and getting her to go to school has been a challenge. The school itself has been no help, even though we showed them the text messages and several of her friends have reported the verbal abuse.
The kid is 12, she has no idea what her sexual preference is yet, however, because she declined a males advances and hugged a female friend, she is now 'that dyke ' in school. 7th grade, and she's ready to kill herself due to lack of tolerance. Meh, I guess she would have been thrown into the foster care system, had we lived in Florida.
