Stop being intolerant you stupid red necks!

The parents of America have taken on a new crusade, they're gonna put an end to bullying in our schools! How are they going to accomplish this? Through a number of so-called zero tolerance policies that mandate punishments such as expulsion and in some cases even jail time for what was once just considered normal childhood behavior that could be dealt with by a teacher with a simple reprimand. Well as it turns out that just wasn't enough. It turns out bullies are sick people who need to be ostracized from society immediately! As it turns the only way to combat bullying, behavior characterized by violence and intimidation is through policies of violence and intimidation. This brilliant idea is yet another from apparently educated liberal types who only want to see children flourish, except of course if one the children happens to use a racial or homophobic slur than its off to the gallows! The most tragic and funny thing about people who take up these types of pointless social causes is that they are more often than not college educated white collar professionals. Presumably these so-called educated people took a few social science classes while they were attending their fancy universities. So what happened when they were taking sociology? Shouldn't they have learned there are things called "life chances" and people are often times just products of their upbringing which is heavily influenced by socioeconomic status? Shouldn't someone have told these enlightened people that often times people on the lower rungs of society often embrace things like racism and homophobia as kind of a defense mechanism? The obvious solution to these problems is an economic and social revolution that would involve a vast redistribution of wealth and the reintegration of the poor into the formal economy, but that just sounds way too hard. How is the American liberal going to find time to do this between yoga classes and cocktails? So like any concerned Americans instead of tackling the systemic cause they decided to use their money and clout to launch a campaign of violence against children, and of course the children of the poor will be the most heavily victimized by this, because as I said above it is children of the poor who are most likely to be brought up with a hateful ideology. So now when they go to school and use the word nigger or fag they will be treated like felons. They will be kicked out of school and their lives will be quickly ruined because of policies promoted by people who routinely use slurs like red neck or hick.
