There is a difference between our general society and our schools. I am allowed to say "Fuck you!" to anyone I like now, but that language wasn't tolerated at my school. I think a child's right to go to school and get an education without being called a faggot is more important (in a school setting) than another student's right to say whatever he/she likes.

It is the son's "right" to be a bigot and homophobe, just as it is every person's "right" to be an idiot in public. I agree with you though. That excuse ranks up there with "I'm rubber you're glue".
