Oops, actually it should be acts of gratuitous violence.

To be perfectly grammatical, it should be \"Gone is the law of might makes right, as well as acts of gratuitous violence, and bullying.\" (I agree with Jane that \"bullying\" is better than \"mockeries.\")

Comment: "I thought this was the closest possible translation which kept to the gramatical french. I agree with the second note that it should be gratuitous violence rather than acts of violence. "

We've had it with the law of the jungle, gratuitous violence and scorn.
That's enough of might makes right, senseless violence and mobbing

: plus simple,plus percutant, much more to the point, moins "preche". Je mettrai "bullying" a la place de scorn.

The idea that might is right is gone, along with the gratuitous violence and scornful insolence.
I think that, in English, the first phrase needs a verb, and, although it means the same, it isn't quite as strongly put as 'bullying'. I also think that it is worth reinforcing the meaning of 'scorn' to make it clear that it is something negative that has now been done away with, and, as it is about kids, I think 'insolence' gives the idea of the tone that is probably indicated by the French version.

Bullying, teasing, and senseless (acts of) violence are no longer tolerated.
I changed the word order a bit.

Down with the survival of the fittest, violence per se and lack of respect towards others.
