[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS says that the boys at his school make comments about sexual orientation--it bothers him a lot. He asks me about it and I encourage him to speak up by telling him that, statistically, there is one person (probably more) in every one of his classes that is LGBT. Someone is hearing these comments and being hurt. He said he told the principal.
DS said that one of the boys used the word "ho" and he told the boy that he would laugh when some girl punched him in the face. 
He hasn't mentioned any racial comments. [/quote]

Your son sounds like a major snowflake. [/quote]

NP.  My son is a varsity athlete and an extremely popular/social kid.  He finds comments about sexual orientation extremely offensive, as do his friends, his parents and pretty much all the adults he knows.  He doesn't hear racist comments because his school is majority minority and anyone who made those kinds of comments would experience immediate negative consequences.

Hate speech may be the norm where you live, but it's not in my kid's large, urban public high school.[/quote]
