Today, the Principal sent out a letter telling parents that there will be a lesson about discrimination and hate against gays because I go to high school and several guys and some girls have came out and they are harassed and bullied and one gay kid tried to apparently tried to kill himself because he got bullied so badly. However, I don't know if this is necessary or not because I've been called "G o o k", "Chink" (even though I'm not chinese", "slanted eyes" and other derogatory terms against Asians but there is no lesson about tolerance about asians. I am in no way homophobic because I do have gay friends but I just feel like this may not be a subject to have several lessons about in school. This is just my opinion and I'd like to know what you think about this. Is this right or wrong????

It's probably because one of you tried to kill yourself. That's serious. After all, you only get one life. There have probably been many 'Bullying is Bad' lessons in school. However, since this person tried to kill himself because of harassment because of his sexuality, the school may feel the need to address it more thoroughly.

These lessons should absolutely take place. You should talk to your principal about a racism lesson as well to address your problem. The solution to these problems is not ignoring them.
