  Case: That is against the Bible
During independent reading time one of the students was reading the book Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. A few of my students began to whisper and point. Later the students went up to the student that was reading the book and stated that God is going to put you in hell for reading those books and you are probably gay. They walked away and the student was very upset.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Okay definitely NOT okay what the students did to begin with. To start, do not let students speak to one another that way. If this means sending a letter home, then that may help, but definitely jump in to explain that is not okay for classroom behavior. I think having a classroom discussion at that point may be of some benefit, explain that everyone is entitled to their opinions and going out of your way to be hurtful is never acceptable and will not be tolerated. Sometimes sending students to see the principal may be acceptable, but I would start with the classroom discussion.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Not only should there definitely be a classroom discussion about differences, but there should also be a discussion about the right type of behavior and how the behavior exhibited by those students is not okay. I might send a note home with the students (depending on the grade level) who said those things because it needs to be clear that comments like that cannot be tolerated.

Comments: It is important that all students are told that each of them are allowed to have their own opinions and should never be made fun of because of them. It is also super important to address this issue as soon as possible.

Comments: Discussing that this behavior is not acceptable to the whole class is a good solution and explain to them that it will not be tolerate and there will be consequences.

Comments: I think correcting the classroom behavior is a great idea and also explaining to them that everyone has their own opinions and ways of thinking is a positive way of explaining the differences.

Comments: I really know you spoke to those students who were bullying in your classroom. A letter send home is necessary in a case like this, because those students were in the wrong. Classroom rules and expectations should be readdressed because bullying is never okay!
