Teens and young adults in school remember, those who have supported you have sent you there to learn, to earn respect for yourself and your family, to work with and respect others. You are there to provide a fulfilling future for yourself and any family you may have, in a country that will need educated citizens with the initiative to work and succeed at difficult and demanding jobs or professions, and in collaboration with people of many backgrounds and temperaments.

You are not in school to goof around on youtube or the internet, to do endless text messaging, pull malicious pranks, or embarrass or humiliate any other human being. The two who did this video are a disgrace not only to themselves, but to their families who sent them on to college with high hopes for the future.

That this comes on the heels of the death of Billy Lucas, along with the Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell on some homophobic rampage against Chris Armstrong student assembly president at the University of Michigan only shows that as a nation we have so far to go. For the dominant paradigm, those in the LGBT community remain outside the definition, as Judith Butler would say, of the bodies that matter. Which means both figuratively and, in our consciousness, literally. May we find as a nation the compassion that is there, somewhere, in all of us.

I just read a big article on Gawker about this case. I hate seeing these things, he was only 19 and he didn't deserve any of what he got. I thought people were getting better, more accepting, but I forgot, it's easy to be a bully, but it seem so hard to just be a human.

It's a terrible thing.
