Reply #50: Believe what I believe or you're going to hell doesn't constitute abuse?

Perhaps the concept of verbal abuse is a bit obtuse, but it is just as illegal as physical abuse when it creates a hostile environment for minors as well as co-workers in the workplace. Unfortunately, it's a lot harder to do anything about.

This young man did the right thing. He recorded it. He exposed it. And now the school district better do something about it or they will end up coughing up a shitload of taxpayers dollars for failing to prevent a hostile environment in their school.

Yeah, legally, it's abuse. Because in reality, it's ideas that leave the deepest scars.
