if America is coming ... it was probably because liberals couldn't swim the tide ... it scares them to ride train too especially if God is at the controls and demand ID ...

The courts themselves will BE the actual bullying.

EVERYTHING this admin does serves to divide people and further police them.

The Obama premise NEVER matches the actual effect.

Barry only has another year, so he is pulling out all the stops in his effort to achieve the Marxist utopia. The Soviet Union was a great example of the government implementing a system where your family members and neighbors could rat you out for anything. Since the average American would never agree to such a system, Barry has come up with the idea that he can start the kids off right and implement a little Soviet Union in the school system. Now that Barry has declared Communist Cuba as our greatest ally, these youngsters can lead us all to Barry’s promised land.

More proof the left has no respect for us. They confiscate currency from us in the form of taxes, fees, penalties as taxes, etc., and then throw it away on bullshit.

The “Jailers & Prisoners” psychology department experiments should have been sufficient to stop the idea of student courts with real powers.

Think Lord of the Flies, Children of teh Corn, . . . . .

You’re spot on there. Just ask Mark Stein what it’s like to be bullied endlessly by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (court).

All our schools need is a return to teachers being able to discipline kids without fear of reprisal, firing, jail, loss of retirement, etc. Today’s kids don’t fear anybody in the school administration and are free to bully as much as they want with impunity. If a teacher so much as looks at the student cross-eyed, it’s the teacher hauled before a court.

“Pro-social youth”? What does that even mean?

Exactly. The Stanford Prison experiment was done with adults. Just think of all the little Adolphs they are creating.

I would like to see a Kid Court go after Hitlery Rodman, the Destined.

It would probably be more effective than what the Dept. of Justice has done so far (absolutely nothing) investigating her corruption.

Sounds like another indoctrination technique. “Joeys father is a conservative while Andys father is a Democrat, ergo Joey is guilty and Andy is innocent. Repeat after me ...Joey is guilty and Andy is innocent, especially if Andy were black.”

I can’t deny that “bullying” happens, the problem is how to respond.

I was on the receiving end of such behavior in fifth grade back around 1970. The liberal teachers back then made passionate speeches against bullying and prejudice. I went to an all white but 25 percent Jewish school where anti-Semitism lurked in the shadows.

But their passionate speeches had the effect of turning the students into a mob that pushed and shoved the bullies across the playground at recess. That was not a good situation either.

Interestingly enough the family-children of one of the ‘bullies’ I remember ended up pursing careers in government ranging from law enforcement to education.

The whole world today seems to be operating like that fifth grade scenario (immature) because much of the world is either addicted to something or codependent with those who are addicted to something IMHO.
