Save The Gingers!

Today, things were going well in my 5th period class.  They are my most rambunctious class, but my smartest.  So I never know what to expect.

At about the middle of the class, my Australian student called out, "Brad, your hair is on fire!"

Normally, this would have not been a problem.  Most of the freshmen and sophomores can handle an insult or joke and just throw it back.  However, Brad, who has lightly red hair, is very serious about everything and takes everything very seriously.  So he was highly insulted and indignant.

I had to stop everything and pull my Aussie friend on the side and have a little discussion.  Of course, I also needed to refer this to our dean's office.  We don't tolerate bullying or harrasment, thankfully.  So, Aussie will have a private audience with my friend the dean!
