Lunches here suck. They don't do anything about bullying or discrimination. I once watch a boy rip off a girls hijab and he only got a lunch detention for it. I've also heard kids say the n slur, r slur, and call the same girl from before a terrorist. None of these kids have been punished in any way. Close Quote
