It’s about what EVERYTHING is about with liberals — power. the ONLY thing they care about.

Ain't that the truth.

The governor's task force recommendations could entail serious consequences for dissenting students. The report includes language suggesting that students who express views that others consider offensive could be referred for "counseling" or "mental health needs."

My 9 year old has this bull sh— every Friday at her school. They have to wear blue for it. My older daughter and I think is is ridiculous to focus on this every week and we tell little one to be tough and just because someone call you a name is no reason to kill yourself. What a joke.

That’s exactly what those laws are about and why I oppose them.

Moreover laws like that will br used to suppress the individual and make them conform to the collective.

Yup, keeping turning the lambs into sheople. No school competition, everyone gets the trophy. it’s all part of the sociological takeover of America. From fearless to spineless in 2 generations.

Read Ben Shapiro’s new book, “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America”.

He nails it!

Too many people on this thread seem to think this article is about bullying or not being a bully's victim or correcting a bully's behavior.

It's about the queer agenda.

I remember vicious bullying when I was in junior high, back in the 70s. One of my daughter’s friends attempted suicide at age 13, due to bullying. I remember the teachers standing by and doing nothing. The inmates were running the asylum. Too much hassle for the teachers, I guess. I don’t expect these workshops to accomplish anything. They’re just window dressing, or the means to another end.

It’s the governments intention to turn it around. The laws make the bullied the bullies.

My kid was bullied as a freshman, It lasted a day. Next day my kid went to school, walked up to the kid and leveled him. End of bullying.

Okay. They’ve convinced me.

The government schools are full of homosexuals and violent bullies.

Shut ‘em down.

If even one child is saved it will be worth it.

There is but one way to deal with a bully and that is to kick his ass. If it requires a stick and sneaking up from behind —do it.
Once you hurt that sorry Bass turd he will think twice about being a bully.

Unfortunately with todays zero policy you will both spoend some time out of school, but sometimes learning to be a man is harder than the 3 R’s.

The anti-bullying is a blatant attempt to normalize homosexuality and recruit more kids into it.

The parents should take time and explain to their children that homosexuality is a disease of the mind and that kids who look or behave like they are gay may in fact be gay. They should be treated like any other kid with a disability, with tenderness and respect, but they also should be ignored and avoided so that their gayness is not encouraged further.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Recently I attended a function at a local high school. In the hall was a bulletin board full of student photos and signatures, with the theme: “Pledge not to bully.” (What if you don’t want to sign? Does it make you a passive bully?)

It just seemed very weird to me. Yeah, I’m a stone age throwback. When I was a teen, we didn’t have enough bullies to fill a bulletin board with their no-wannabes. We didn’t even think about bullies, much less design bulletin boards to showcase our disapproval.

But when you had someone who needed to be put in his place, you put him there, and if you could not, there was no shortage of people delighted to step up and do it for you.

We did not have to be counseled or warned or indoctrinated or sensitized. It was all understood from the time we first heard “Three Billy Goats Gruff.”

OK, what about the kid with two hearing aids and an underbite who is mercilessly teased all through grade school?

Not homosexual by ANY stretch of the imagination.

Just BORN HANDICAPPED.

What to do for those little kids?

p.s.

That little kid was me, 45 years ago.

p.p.s.

Ignoring the bullies didn’t help-they just ratcheted it up further.

Punching em out stopped it.

These campaigns turn sodomites into a class that is feared by everyone else.

Charges of “bullying” a homosexual can be trumped up at any time against children of conservatives, Christians - any child who does not quietly go along with everything the school personnel tell them to do.

Mind control to make homosexuality normal in our society.

Homosexuality - and all other immoral behavior and vices - are simply tools to destroy America from within.

Globalist elitists want one world government. Some Americans, however, still hold fast to the idea of national sovereignty. Elitists know they need to break down America so it is no longer a superpower, but a co-superpower with China, (they will try to have Europe and Russia insinuated into the mix as well), in order to then “sell” the American people on the idea down the road that one world government is more secure than standing alone. Hence the constant political pressure to reduce military spending and increase welfare spending to working-age, able-bodied people.
