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!) I would have zero tolerance for that kind of bullying. Their behavior would result in a disciplinary referral. Rather than suspend them or make them do detention, I would rather they be required to write a well thought out essay on bigotry and its effects. I would also make sure to speak to the student was the victim of the bullying to comfort them and let them know they could speak to me or the school counselor if they wished. It would also be smart to monitor for any future bullying and to see if I noticed any negative changes in the bullied student's mental or emotional state.
