re: #169 Aceofwhat?

Exactly. When there is no motivating factor that could lead us to excuse a particular behavior, it is far more logical to ban the behavior outright than to make enumerations based on motivation. The motivation is assumed to be unjust, regardless of what it it. It is no less just to bully you for being a nerd than for being (insert category here). Making the distinction in the ban, therefore, is unnecessary.

I’m bowing out of this, since I picked a bad link to demonstrate. Let’s just say that bullying about sexuality is a huge issue for both gay and straight kids, and there are folks out there who do not want sexuality included in any anti-bullying policy.
