So the moral is "avoiding a fight makes you a pussy"?

What the hell is it with this movie? Some crazed teacher wants to beat up/possibly murder a colleague for getting him fired. The whole school knows about it, students and other teachers alike. Presumably the principal or other higher authorities that would surely have heard have no interest in stopping it. He goes to the police like a rational adult, and he gets laughed at.

I know this is supposed to be a comedy...but where's the humor? In this day and age where bullying is a major problem, we tell kids to avoid fights, to tell authority figures when they're being harassed, threatened, or hurt. And here's this movie, set in a school no less, playing it up for laughs. Oh no, if it's two adults it's perfectly fine. A real man stands up and takes it. If he tries to back out he's not a real man. If he tries to take one punch and go down, he's a pussy. If he tells his fellow teachers what's happening, they all insist he has to fight and give him pointers instead of trying to stop it. THE POLICE LAUGH AT HIM AND TELL HIM TO TAKE HIS BEATING.

How did this premise get greenlit and make it to film in the year 2016? How can we live in an age where we tell kids not to do this, to be safe and not allow them to act like cruel and violent pricks to each other, yet turn around and laugh when adults do this and question the masculinity of the one ACTING LIKE AN ADULT?!

This feels like an ill-conceived movie from the 90's. Not from 2016 when bullying and harassment are a real problem, and outdated concepts like "be a man and don't back away from a fight" are finally going away. I'm just...really peeved by this. And I give it maybe 3 replies before someone who thinks they're being clever tells me to stop being a SJW or some such nonsense.
