The Protective of The Queer Kids part of me is very strongly in favor of having these boys suspended under the school's zero tolerance bullying policy (they probably have one) every time they so much as think the word "hell". Because "You can't just tell people they're going to hell, Jerry, jeez, were you raised in a BARN?"
This is probably not what the kid wants, however.
Next best things are removing the kid from this school and placing her in a more progressive one, even if the "quality of education" is "worse" (aka, usually "aggregate skintone is darker"), and teaching her how to break friendships and maintain boundaries with people who are cruel. And to back her up completely when the school tries to get her to make herself smaller and more convenient.
(My middle school tried to get me to Forgive And Make Up with a person who stole my parents' credit card and made $5,000 worth of fraudulent charges. That went about as well as you'd expect.)
As for the kid in the second letter---Yikes. Just YIKES.
This is getting up to "you sassed me so I took away your door" level parenting nopes and I do not like it.
