I remember High School. Back then bullies were an extension of teachers and the school administration. They preyed on students the teachers let them. They enforced a conformity the school couldn't. Mr. Leahy's actions seem quite appropriate considering the attitude of apparently many students in his class. Considering the school administrators are probably of my generation, they likely hold an outlook similar to what they saw growing up in school and defend it to themselves with "bullying isn't as big a deal as they say" thoughts. As well, the prejudice of the students didn't arise spontaneously in a vacuum. I suspect the most vocal parents have the more prejudice kids.
