The following week, Marcus had to come to school early and repeatedly write: "I will never use the word 'gay' in school again."

Glad I'm not a parent..they'd have to put me UNDER the jail for what I would do to those bigoted freaks.
This is rather amusing if you think about it. The teachers had him come to school early and lie repeatedly. Consider writing:

"I will not use the word 'gay' in school again."
"I will not use the word 'gay' in school again."

Ok, the first one is clearly a lie, since you just wrote it after you said you wouldn't. This would repeat until the end of the process. Thus you end up lying N-1 times, where N is the number of times you were instructed to write it.

On a related note, these teachers were definately ignorant, since there's clearly another use for the word 'gay'. Additionally, they'd better hope they don't have to do a report on Marvin Gay or... yeah you get the point. Absurd.
