'and not a single bloody teacher seems to have the guts to stand up and say "Shit! ENOUGH!"'

This is a blatant untruth. Yet any defence will, in all likelyhood, be seen as an attack on Liz herself. I have said 'enough' on many occasions. Some of my colleagues have lost their jobs because of their stance. There is lots of dirt thrown our way yet we dare not reply. A recent survey has shown that one in ten head teachers has been physically assaulted. By a parent. Yet we still do it because we love the job. Only to be told we have no guts. There are some things that sicken me.
