That's probably the worst thing about this.

I finally walked up to him and said, "let's go for it." He stepped back and walked away.

especially when the administration is on the side of the bullies

She first tried it the proper way and found the school was antisemitic as well.

Standing up for yourself doesn't only mean squaring up to a bully

It happened in class in front of the teachers who did nothing.

but "Zionist"

Best of Good Luck! 💙💔☮️🌻🕯️🕊️💜

The nearby Oakland district also has/had its own . . . issues.

Tired of being gaslit about this stuff.

I just consider Zionist a slur now and side eye the people who use it profusely. Sorry. We've had almost three years to get our own side under control with this stuff, but no one wanted to. Now Zionist is interchangeable with Jew all over the Internet.

So people can own that one. I hear Zionist as pejorative, I'm assuming bigot until proven otherwise. That's the environment people have allowed to proliferate.

I hope that school district has to pay out a lot of money

That said, if successful (as I think the suit should be), schools everywhere need to look at what they turn a blind eye to.. Yes, high school is a pit of vipers (the "Mean Girls," the nasty cliques, the athletic bully culture and of course the usual opposition to anyone remotely different). I don't say this to diminish the antisemitism this suit seeks to address, just that schools everywhere need to widen the viewfinder to ensure a tolerant setting for everyone.
