I had more than a couple of bullies mess with me in grade school. I was small at the time but in high school that would change.

I took them all on after school. I didn’t win every fight but ever fight was the last one I had with each of them.

There was one bully on our street that stole my bike once and came by with it laughing at me. I broke his nose.

I never met a bully that would go more than one round once they knew you would fight back and keep fighting back. They are all cowards because that is part of what being a bully is.

Experience tells us that there is just one sure-fire way to stop a bully.

Punch the maggot in the mouth.

Works every time that it’s tried.

A slightly different take on the same story:

Homosexual activists in Minnesota move to ban unsupportive speech in schools

Interesting exercise to try to eliminate bullying through legislation. Not all evolutionary human behavior is nice or socially acceptable to modern sensibilities. “Bullying” is simply a manifestation by which the weak or the aberrant were cast out of clans, tribes or groups to enhance the body. Unfortunately “tolerance” is not hard wired into human behavior.

PROTECTED Groups? feelings hurt? views challenged?
Young lady you have no chance at a successful life if you believe the statement you made......
All children should be protected period.
If you do not learn how to deal with having your feelings hurt as a child you will never survive adulthood.
If your views are never challenged you can never learn..

bill's backers include educators, pediatricians, gay rights activists and advocates for the disabled.

The wolf in sheep's clothing. None of these so-called anti bullying bills have anything to do with what we think of as bullying. They are all about criminalizing anti-gay speech and religious opposition under the guise of bullying..

“The law, at just 37 words, is one of the shortest anti-bullying laws in the nation and only requires school districts to enact their own local bullying prevention policies. “

A law that allows others to make their own “laws”. Dangerous policy.

I was bullied a couple of times in school, up to middle school, but only ONE TIME by each person..............
My fathers lesson was the only way to stop being bullied was to stand up for yourself. That did not mean running to a teacher........ It worked and has served me well through life.

Will this apply to bullying by Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Janet Napolitano, Mayor Bloomberg, NY Gov. Cuomo, Teachers Unions, teachers who bully little boys for making the letter “L” out of a Pop-Tart, and all the democrats who want to dictate our every move?

“It would send the message to students... that they have an absolute right not to have... their views challenged,” Kersten said.

WTH?!?!?

So much for Science! Guess we can toss out the Thesis/Synthesis/Hypothesis method... as well as the defending of the Doctoral Thesis... as well as peer testing and peer review...

Morons.

to students in protected groups

By what authority does government or anyone else create 'protected groups'?

I sincerely hope that SOMEDAY, people start seeing through the 'let's make everybody equal by creating inequality' charade!

Does this mean that Obama, Schumer, Feinstein, McCain and the other political bullies will have to be on their guard? What will the penalties be for political bullying?

The Gaystopo would use this law to “ bully” every bit of opposition to their sodomization of America agenda.

In other words, this is a PRO-bullyuing law. And we all know who the new bullies are.
