Taking a Stand, or Ignorance Cover-Up?

WARNING: CYNICAL CONTENT! READER DISCRETION ADVISED
The administrators at Bedford High School are just now realizing that bullying occurs in our school building, halfway through the second trimester. Even though it's great they're trying to do something, I personally think this is absolutely disgusting. Helooooo! Social issues are essentially the words in between "high" and "school"! Maybe if some of the faculty didn't have such an ego that "Oh our school is so wonderful, we're safe from all of this nonsense," they would be more on their toes and realize that bullying is not as uncommon as they think. And while they may cut down on bullying in general by taking this strong stand, there is still a ton of ignorance going around. Everywhere I go, I hear racial slurs, anti-semetic comments, even sexist remarks. What is this, the 14th century?! Being Jewish, I've tried the best I can to counter these remarks and educate the ignorant, but nowadays it seems the only answer is to simply ignore it. And it's not like the faculty is doing anything about it. Last year, along with a few other classmates, I had lunch with the superintendant and he brought up the issue of bullying, to which I responded by bringing up the issue of ignorance. He was totally surprised and bewildered, and really didn't know what to tell me. I almost fell out of my chair when he responded that way. I don't think the faculty even knows how to handle this sort of problem. I've dealt with anti-semetic bullying all my life, and no matter how many times I've called out for help I've only been ignored or recieved fake responses. In general, there is too much ignorance going around the student body as well as the administration. Maybe one day this will change.
But for now, I'm only one voice.
One opinion.
One meager cry for help.

But those are my thoughts, not yours.
