Hmmmm, Corbin, makes me wonder what they'd do if
a Muslim-looking boy put a chocolate covered cross in a bag on the lunch room table. Or how about a caricature of Christ. Think it might be called a hate crime?
Likely not.

Muslims and Jews should examine why it is that they are not
allowed to eat pork and why it is that muslims are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages. They would find out that the reasons for it are connected with situations way back in history and have no longer any value today.
But of course you can as good talk to a wall.

It sounds to me like the perpetrators of the ham incident have been exposed to people who do hate and they are learning to do the same. It is a good time to nip that in the bud, if possible, and help those students to learn tolerance. Also, there is more than one definition for the word crime. Though not the main meaning of the word, another meaning is--
an unacceptable act: a shameful, unwise, or regrettable act. If uninterrupted, this bent to pranks can escalate into the real thing.

I think that society has become waaay too sensitive to the feelings of others ...
It's not just with (so-called) "hate crimes", though. I saw on some show, there was this case where two 11-year old boys went around school during recess, lightly patting girls on the butt and then running away ... and the "offenders" were sent to a detention center to await sexual abuse charges!
P.S. Although, I will say that, in general, people really should be more careful about just flippantly tossing smoked pork products around. I see it happen time and time again, and it always ends in tragedy.
