Ah so you're one of "those" females eh? And what a stupid comment "you must be gay" you dumb sloot

I'm not picking sides here because parents are going to raise their kids the way they feel best. However, you are complaining about her wanting her son to fight back instead of just taking it...

And when she called you gay... did you take it like a member of the school said should happen, or did you fight back by calling her a dumb sloot?

You see this double standard here? Yes, they are just kids. Kids, hopefully, grow up to be adults. By doing exactly what she said he son should do, does that mean you actually agree? When attacked with words, fighting back with words is the same thing as when punched you punch back. One is more physically, but one can be way more scarring.

The point I'm trying to make, maybe she shouldn't of spoken poorly to the principal. Instead, maybe she should of went up there to talk to them as a reasonable adult and to your son. You have ever right as a parent to say don't lay a hand on my son. I'll be there in a few minutes to address this with him instead. However, your way of insulting her right back made her point about fighting back.
