Bullied gay student who fired stun gun is expelled
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...-expelled?lite
Quote:
A gay student who said he fired a stun gun in the air at school when bullies threatened him has been expelled, according to the school district.
...
Young, 17, said bullies hounded him daily. The harassment escalated on April 16, when a group surrounded him at school and threatened to beat him up, according to the Indianapolis Star.
...
"My point was not to hurt anybody ? the purpose was to back them off. I didn?t know what else to do," he told msnbc's NewsNation on Monday.
...
?While the district does not condone bullying, it also does not allow weapons to be brought on our school campuses for any reason. Students who violate this rule will be held accountable,?
...
Principal Larry Yarrell earlier said the school had tried to look into the bullying reports, but Young was not always able to identify all of those who had harassed him.
...
?Dynasty, like many other lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people, was pushed out of school by an administration that failed to keep him safe and by school discipline policies that remove students instead of resolve the problem,?
