Elementary school students regularly hear and use negative comments such as “retard” or “you’re so gay” in their schools, posing additional challenges to administrators who are increasingly trying to combat name-calling and bullying, even in the youngest grades.
"Elementary principals are painfully aware of the impact that name-calling, bullying and bias have not only on an individual student's development, but also in disrupting a positive school culture that nurtures the whole child," said Gail Connelly, executive director of the National Association of Elementary School Principals.

Aren't these words that school kids have ALWAYS used? Sorry folks, most men don't identify with feminine-acting dudes. The name calling by kids shows that this is natural.
It builds character and teaches kids how to handle what other people say. Excercises their cognitive abilities and decisions on how to or not to react to difficult situations.
Oh, wait, we're only here to pwotect the wittow bitty babies!
Those words taught me the importance of knowing how to properly throw and land a right cross, left hook combo.
Where there are kids there is name calling...SHOCKER !
Hell I've heard ADULTS(?) do the same and worse. Ever listen to a c.b. radio?
