Bullying is the new boogey-man. My idea of bullying is someone who hurts you or threatens to hurt you in return for money, objects or assistance (like homework).
My kids told me the new, slippery definition. Disagreeing with someone angrily and hurting their feelings in the process can also be bullying. If I tell you that you are wrong and you cry, I’m now a bully.
Now we not only have to assume that he who is the most emotionally invested in a topic is more right, but telling them that they are wrong is now morally wrong.
We’re starting to see this scope creep in shutting down those who say homosexuality is wrong because that bullies gays. It’s not even shutting down speech you find offensive, just what you say hurts your feelings.

Anti Bullying is just one more step along a planned and predetermined course,

to drive into full blown, utopian, complete Marxism.
