Call to Action

I just read an article and watched a very disturbing video of a young gay boy being beaten up at school while other students watched.  The bully in question waited for the student to enter before he attacked him and then other students stood around watching.

The bully has only been suspended for three days.

He even has a post of Facebook where he states: This is the definition of fa****.  This is one of the comments left on the Huffington Post article and I thought I'd share.  I've gotten involved and I want all of you to as well:

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION! 
Shown below are the address and phone number of Union-Scio­­to High School. Also shown below are the email address of the principal and superinten­­dent: Let your voice be heard! Demand the attacker be permanentl­­y suspended - actually arrested and prosecuted­­. As parents, we need to take a stand that bullying and beatings will not be tolerated in our public high schools. The mother of the student that was savagely beaten needs our support:

SUBJECT: ATTACK OF A GAY STUDENT CAUGHT ON VIDEO

  1. The rage I have inside when I hear or see something like this! And my anger isn't just because he was attacked for being gay. NO ONE has the right to put their hands on ANYONE! A 3 day suspension is what they feel is acceptable punishment? WTF?? When I was in school fighting of any kind was an automatic 2 week suspension be it in school or out. The fact that it was CLEARLY premeditated should have resulted in expulsion or shipped to whatever school handles the behavioral problem kids. And I'm quite sure this shit happens all the time in that school too!
