Whenever talk of fighting bullying at schools comes up, the religious right
and their ilk get up to vigorously oppose it, as it would protect
leftists, homosexuals, freaks, nerds, hippies, atheists, questioners and other undesirables from being
set right by the crew-cut defenders of our values.
Bullies, their argument suggests, are the unsung guardians of moral probity,
the kids who draw the line and make sure everybody else toes it,
without whom the values that make Our Great Nation great would be lost,
and who grow into staunch patriots, the backbone of society.
Well, perhaps
this is the sort of righteously patriotic act they have in mind.
