At a time in history where thick skin may be the most valuable asset,some mean old teacher called a student Jew Boy.In a world where young people will encounter bigotry two fold when they get out of school,don't dare desensitize them to it as part of their formal training.When this boy graduates and enters the real world,this teacher will seem like Mary Poppins compared to the jerks he will encounter.

The child already experienced the disrespect from an authority figure who knows better. Desensitising? Really? Wrong is wrong. Do the crime accept the time.
