8. A zero tolerance policy of bullying, bigotry

... and physically bashing them might be a good place to start to make public schools a safer place for all students. Particularly the students of minority group status.

Breaking someone's jaw in two places is not a love tap it is a violent criminal assault to teach this kid they addressed as a trans/fag a lesson and punish her for being different.

This is a crime perpetrated upon the basis of vehement hatred and this group of attackers took it upon themselves to pulverize and bash the token of their hatred.

The prosecution of this crime should be enhanced with Hate Crime status to add to the severity of this abhorrent behavior.

Those who proudly attacked her should be immediately arrested and formerly charged for this crime.

Charging them will quickly get the message out to the community that this violent behavior is specifically and particularly verboten. You will suffer the consequences if you launch or participate in such a injuriously violent attack.

This horrific assault is eons beyond mearly a slap on the back of the hand - then quickly moveing on. It must be dealt with rapidly and sternly to curtail this type of barbaricly shity behavior.
