Bullying
It’s still making headlines…
The word “bully” strikes a note of discontent in the vast
majority of Americans. Whether a bully,
a bystander or the one who is being bullied, I venture to guess that everyone
has experienced some form of bullying at one time in their life. Where did we get off the track in thinking
that our children are immune from this type of punishment?
The educational system has harbored this type of civil abuse
long enough and with the media attention given to too many suicides stemming
from verbal, physical or cyber abuse, the government must now decide if they
are going to get involved. Our current
president is an extreme advocate of “no child left behind” and this is
encouraging when you consider how uneducated our students are in comparison to
China and Japan. However, I must ask you
Mr. President, to clarify this statement when it pertains to the inability to
receive the education desired by students who are perpetually plummeted with
sneers, punches, and social intimidation because of their differences.
Sadly, our nations parenting skills must be severely lacking
if our juveniles consider this behavior acceptable. This is another story
entirely; but if we want to insure that our children are getting the education
that is granted to them so that they will be the capable leaders of tomorrow,
then this civil right obstruction must be addressed, and addressed quickly!
