6. The school did not stop the bullying he had to endure.

I think he should have had the right to protect himself without being punished by the school.

I say more power to any gay teens (and adults too) who defend themselves. If we start defending ourselves more often, the bullies will think twice before they try that crap with the next gay person they meet. They need to know we aren't playing and won't take their crap any more. It will end up being the only real solution to the problem. School officials won't do anything that will actually work. They just try to look like they are doing something about it, but usually, they just want to do something that will make everyone think they are doing something.
