You tell me, who are the real bullies. I think the biggest bullies are those who misuse their authority to intimidate or punish others. This definition automatically incriminates government as the biggest bully. We've all heard the stories of children being punished for just playing typical, harmless games. Those who approve and conduct that punishment are bullies.
Judge this story: In a math class, the teacher presents a problem in which the answer is "zero". One of the students, with the correct answer, answers, "Zero, just like 'so and so's' (enter a friend's name) batting average". Is that bullying?
Without knowing who reported it to the school principal, it is hard for me to identify the small minded, adult jackass who asked for punishment for this kid. I also believe the principal acted the way he did because he is a victim of bullying at the hands of the politically correct crowd and fear of litigation.
