I think they are a reflection of those around them. They are, often, IMHO, nothing more than parrots. The "meanest" people are the ones who think this is nothing more than "kids being kids," or "no one was really hurt" type of people. The real "meanest" people are the ones who excuse anti-Semitism (or any type of bigotry) for the actions of another or blame the victim.

But doesn't that just send the problem to other schools without trying to fix it? |

They need to make sure the school is a safe, supportive environment for the kids who want to learn. |

One-day is way too light. A week with community service would be a start. |
