If a kid calls another kid a faggot once, I really don't care. I care when a group of kids threaten, harass, routinely slam on Facebook, etc. All things that fall short of a physical attack.

We cannot pass laws prohibiting people from saying whatever they like to others on things like Facebook. The only applicable laws are those for defamation. You have offered an incurable situation which proves Atticus's point regarding the futility of many efforts to stem bullying.
