| (editor's note. CEO does not support peer counseling, but we do support the idea that bullying is about a lot more than just homosexuality) *December 10, 2011 BULLYING ABOUT MORE THAN JUST HOMOSEXUALITY "'Our concern is that the LGBT movement is using bullying to leverage [its] way into the schools to promote a separate agenda – acceptance of the gay lifestyle – as opposed to genuinely trying to stop bullying for the sake of stopping bullying,' Marvin’s wife, Darlene, said in the report. Protecting children from bullying is the goal of his program." >>read more>> |
| October 20, 2011 FATHER’S ATTEMPTS TO GET PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL TO STOP THE BULLYING OF HIS FIRST-GRADE SON “Comgbaye described his growing horror as his son came home from school bruised and shaken day after day. He said that his pleas to the teacher and principal brought no relief and that a phone call and subsequent letter to the district superintendent got no response.” >>read more>> |
| September 14, 2011 ANTI-BULLYING LAWS DON'T WORK "Shouldn't logical people consider the possibility that the escalating problem of bullying might be related to the escalating war against bullying?" >>read more>> |
| April 19, 2011 BULL ABOUT BULLYING “There is a lot of talk from many people about bullying in school. The problem is that it is all talk. There is no sign that anybody is going to do anything that is likely to reduce bullying.” >>read more>> |
| January 17, 2011 BULLYING ON SOCIAL NETWORK SITES CAN AFFECT SCHOOL WORK “While most schools forbid students from using cell phones and sites such as Facebook during school hours, educators are increasingly dealing with the fallout of online bullying and what teens term "drama" that begins off campus. There are criminal laws against true threats, stalking and harassment, but bullying that does not go far enough for police to step in still can have a devastating impact.” >>read more>> |
| January 11, 2011 SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION CHALLENGES BULLYING REGS “The general counsel of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) is warning the U.S. Department of Education (ED) that recent federal guidance on bullying and harassment will create ‘adversarial climates that distract schools from their educational mission’ and ‘invite misguided litigation’ that school districts cannot afford.

| September 10, 2010 ALL KIDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM BULLYING “considering that some 30 percent of American children are involved in bullying today, we feel the most effective way to do this is to develop policies that reflect the widespread nature of the problem, rather than focusing on certain aspects of it. After all, when the Founding Fathers wrote the words “all men are created equal,” they didn’t append a lengthy laundry list singling out certain characteristics as more worthy of protection than others and dividing human beings into competing categories.” >>read more>> |

From infancy on, encouraging kids to think about how others feel has been shown to reduce bullying and aggression, says Amanda Nickerson, PhD, associate professor of school psychology at the University at Albany-SUNY. In fact, a warm, close relationship with a mother who is empathetic toward others reduces the risk of a child turning into a bully.” >>read more>> |
