The primary difference is that now, the bullies can pretend they’re the righteous ones. They can pretend that it’s not them who are wrong, but their target.

What’s more, it works.

Think about it for a second. The prime example the students give is “gender ideology.” If they speak up and say they don’t think kids should transition or that there are only two genders or anything else, they’re ripped to shreds by their peers. They’re harassed into oblivion.

And since they’re parroting the exact same talking point their teachers push, what are the odds that they’re going to get in any trouble?

Bullying has shifted. It’s about indoctrination and it’s a tool of the extreme left and while teachers have always somewhat been blind to bullying, far too many today agree with the bullies.
