"No Tolerance"

A young man wrote a note calling another young man on the bus a derogatory name and then handed it to  him.  There was the expected "What?" and then he started showing all the students around him what he had been given.  They were all in disbelief that someone could write in such a fashion.  The verbal flogging the writer received was vicious.  His little brother even showed his disapproval and told him what he did wrong.  I looked out of the corner of my eye to see the writer slowly sliding down out of site with a very distraught look on his face.  I don't think he will do this again and if he does, he will do it properly.  I mean in an educational setting if you are going to call someone an ugly name you had better spell it correctly or they will be all over you.
