And while the task force gives the impression that LGBT students are a primary focus of bullying, evidence suggests that the vast majority of bullying is directed at other students. The DOJ surveys indicate that the percentage of 12- to 18-year-old students who reported being targets of hate-related words based on their sexual orientation fell from 1.0 percent in 2007 to 0.6 percent in 2009.

Really, this is a problem? We need a special LAW to get teachers to tell unruly punks not to bully other kids?
Correct me if I am wrong, isn’t bullying simply a part of every day life. Are these children never expected to be bullied by a boss, or by a sibling, or God forbid bullied by the U.S. Government forcing them to buy birth control and abortions for their employees?
Besides, if we aren’t ever bullied, how do we become associated with societal norms?
It is time for both civil and uncivil disobedience to these jack booted thugs.
