<p>You’re right; it’s not the same thing. It’s even not in the same universe of “things.” </p>
<p>I’ve not seen the movie Bully, HisGraceFillsMe, but I must say I believe there is a wide gulf separating people who would make a joke about people in the horn section from those who would torment a kid because he or she is the wrong color, gay, overweight, disabled or otherwise “different” from the norm—or those who would torment a kid, day in and day out, for any reason. But tormenting and teasing are NOT the same thing. </p>
<p>And, umm, people who go out for marching band do know that people joke about them, right? I’ve known plenty of marching band fanatics who use the term “band dork” to describe themselves. COME ON!</p>
