Why is there such a thing as “hate” crimes ? Just charge them as regular crimes.
The kid wasn't picked on or punished because he was Jewish. He missed a weight training session. The consequences in some of these situations are chosen to inflict a high degree of discomfort to the individual being punished, and since he was Jewish, eating pork was picked, with the additional burden of punishment for the whole team if he didn't "take it like a man." The issue is the culture, not the anti-Semitism. The coaches pick on perceived weaknesses, and for this kid, his religion was an easy target. Very wrong, but not the core issue.
