"A former hockey player at Watertown High School [in Connecticut] who accused his teammates of calling him "gay" and a "faggot" will receive $30,000 in a legal settlement with the Board of Education." [The Republican-American]
Seriously?! Man, I want to retroactively sue practically everybody with whom I went through public school in the 80's then, because then? I'd never need to work again.

Glad he got some cash. Its about the only thing people understand in our society. Look how companies are with sexual harassment
suits, they will do everything possible to avoid and deny them cause they cost lots of $$$. Maybe some of this bullying will stop if these school boards knew they would have to pay if they stand by and do nothing about it.

Well, was/is he gay? If the shoe fits, why didn't he say "yup" and walk away? Money could have been better used to buy books, supplies, and food for the needy kids in the school lunch program…………

If I had 30K for every time someone called me a fag, I'd be typing this from my yacht.
Well, a slightly bigger yacht.
