This woman didn't say offensive things; she took advantage of a lonely child, pretending to be her friend, then love interest, cultivating a relationship for someone suffering from depression and severe self-esteem issues, then told her to go kill herself.

This is not a student calling another student a fag. There's a monumental difference, and acting like this is a slippery slope to "zomg I can't insult someone else!" land is ridiculous.
