I now know that it doesn't help, but I used to beat the crap out of people like that. It didn't help them much that I was on the boxing team (until the school board closed it down, the lousy bastards). Up here in Canada, most schools don't sing the national anthem in the morning anymore, so I didn't have to deal with that. However, being a Druid, and anarchist, and being smarter then the generally population of a class room doesn't help you much. But I learned to deal with it. For a time. My advice to you, is to start bringing a tape recorder to school, and when he starts to say something like that, tape it. Then get him in a whole lot a crap. Like waist deep in crap.
