Why should taxpayers have to pay? This is ridiculous. Why is the school responsible for a bully? Sue the parents. Why doesn’t the judge stitulate taxpayers are not responsible? Think I’ll ever get a good answer?
The teacher retirement fund would be a good place to get the nobey, but .. noo o o o o o !
because the school and taxpayers have much deeper pockets.
they’d probably be lucky if they ended up with 1/100th of that (after lawyers) by going after the parents.
The school is responsible for the safety of the kids while they're at school. It's a no-brainer.
Why doesn’t the judge stitulate taxpayers are not responsible?
Because they are.
Think I’ll ever get a good answer?
Yes, but not one you'll like, apparently.
Stop asking reasonable questions ;-)
Because the NJ legislature has made the schools gun-free and weapons-free zones, thereby implying that the state will provide security for the lil government-school urchins.
Bet bullying episodes will decrease if the bullies know that their quarry might be packing.
(he says with tongue in cheek)
I think the school officials should be liable, individually as well as the actor and his family. They should be impoverished.
I don’t blame the kid for going for the money though. His medical bills will run to the millions.
Our school’s Union staffers are the biggest bullies. By law, we require kids to attend taxpayer schools. If you are going to do this, the schools have the responsibility to protect them from being paraylized by the animals you have entraped them with. Zero tolerance makes everyone guilty in a violent incident and sometimes that is a lie. Mindless zero tolerance is amoral and unethical as is sexually molesting everyone at the airport, espeically the ones with heart pacemakers and wheelchairs.
The left will take this and run with it, though. Soon it will be “bullying” of the highest and most dangerous degree to disagree with them on anything; especially their intolerance of whites, Christians, adult sexual interaction with kids, and boys. All politics and social expressions can be controled by anti-bullying measures.
Both parents and the school should be in court. The school
obviously knew of the bully and did nothing. I have
found all the anti-bulling talk from school admins. and
teachers to be just that—all talk. The adults left the
schools long ago.
I tell friends who are experiencing a child being bullied
to follow school policy and document everything and when
the bullying turns violent bring in the police and lgnore
school admin. They are as useless as a screen door
on a submarine.
In my day a hard punch to the nose of a bully got better results.
