The two were verbally assaulted by three teenage boys at a bus stop, with the boys then continuing their racist insults aboard the bus The following day Gordon went to the boys' school, met the principal, and confronted the offenders The confrontation was meant to educate the boys - to challenge their stereotypes of natives and to sensitize them to the dehumanizing effects of their behavior
