Bully threatens lawsuit over suspension

I think I've figured out why schools these days usually side with serial bullies while punishing everyone else.

Maybe it's because the few remaining schools that do penalize the bullies are threatened with a lawsuit complaining that the bully's "rights" are being violated.

A high school junior in the Tampa Bay area has received a 5-day out-of-school suspension because she harassed a Muslim student. By her own admission, the harasser told her schoolmate, "Take that thing off your head and act like you're proud to be an American." (The racism symbol at the top of this entry results from the harasser's bigotry.)

What's the harasser's reaction to the suspension?

SHE'S GONNA SUE!!!!!!!!!!

For what?????

Her father says harassing a schoolmate is a "First Amendment right." Seriously, he said that.

Only in BushWorld is a policy against bullying considered a violation of free speech while mandatory public school uniforms are not.

More hypocrisy? The harasser in this story claims she confronted the schoolmate because she didn't stand during the Pledge of Allegiance. But it turns out the harasser lived in Mexico for 6 months and refused to say Mexico's pledge to the flag.

Why did she confront a student over not standing for the Pledge when she did something very similar herself? In my day, we called that hypocrisy.

Maybe I should remind everyone how the Tea Party whack-a-doos refused to respectfully stand during "The Star-Spangled Banner." What the hey, I think I'll post that clip again:
