I assumed he was younger due to being in middle school. so he was gay and stupid. boy, the deck was really stacked against him!
Also I was in high school and in middle school. I was not tripped down the stairs then books kicked around or involved in fights or kicked and punched for some reason, whether gay related or not.
The kid was gay, according to his parents. He came out to them a year before.

This does not necessarily have to be about gay children, but they are a part of a growing issue in schools. It is one characteristic or trait that families cannot fully understand and so children need to have some avenue of help.
how exactly do you propose they give him special treatment? any special treatment would single him out and alienate him even more imo

Not special attention, but just following the school's own mission statement would be a start.
I was tripped down the stairs. Once someone stepped on the back of my skirt and then pushed me down the stairs so not only did I fall, but my skirt stayed behind and then I fell down the stairs in my underwear. Once someone picked me up and threw me in a bush and then for whatever reason I got a reputation of being a 'vegisexual' That lasted for about 6 months. People teased me because I have small boobs. People teased me because I was small.
The thing is, I'm sure that everyone has somewhat similar stories. If kids want, they can find a reason to tease you. My parents put me in therapy when I showed signs of being depressed. They threw me in a mental hospital when I showed signs of being suicidal. Being teased probably didn't help but it certainly wasn't the root of the problems in my life. I'm not scarred from it either. Teasing happens. Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent though.
How was he stupid?
So then nothing should be done to any student getting mentally or physically assaulted?
Bottom line people need to stop teaching kids that the world is nice and everyone gets a trophy for playing. People need to learn that it's not that way and that there indeed is a 1st place and you should not settle for less. If someone is being mean to you stand up for yourself. This has nothing to do with gay, straight, rich, poor, or anything it's just people being pussies.

So you teach your kid(s) to fight back physically when they are assaulted instead of being mature and professional when talking about the matter or issue?
If your son gets upset with someone's comments, he should be positively reinforced to seek revenge?
Because that's a positive thing?
No. Our society coddles the weak too much as it is.
so if one of your kids (read: cats) is assaulted by someone (or something) else, you do not do anything but root your child/cat on to seek revenge?
