Ever since two teachers, who were sponsors of the gay/straight alliance at MacArthur High School, were removed from the campus prompting hundreds of students to walk out, reports of bullying have increased at the school.
Yesterday (Sept. 29), one student was in the gym with about 100 students with limited adult supervision, because of a shortage of teachers and subs.
A small group of students approached her making anti-transgender comments. After two or three minutes, a supportive group of students intervened.
To find an ally, the student had to walk all the way across campus to find a teacher she knew was supportive. Along the way, the student would have ducked into a classroom marked Safe Space, but all of those stickers were removed
