School districts across Texas are working to comply with a broad anti-bullying law passed by state lawmakers in 2011. Nathan Bernier of KUT News reports on how school boards have been changing their policies to prepare for the law, which will allow bullies to be moved to other campuses.

Bullies should have to go into the boxing ring were we have rules. The schools are going to have to much power and like what is happening with the blacks calling for bounty on a person our laws only work if enforce for all. As to the homosexual crap should stay out of our schools our children should never be exposed to this crap of sickness of homosexuals. Parents will draw the line on this matter.
Obama and democrats must go!

Have you noticed that anytime a kid is unsuccessful in school, it is now some bully's fault? Once again we continue teachng kids not to accept responsibility for their actions.

Gypsy, the only crap here would be the hate filled comments you continue to post. It speaks volumes as to your lack of tolerance of others and bigotry towards others when you attack the "bounty" offered by the New Black Panther party as being offered by "blacks". While I would agree any form of vigilante justice is not acceptable, where was your outrage when the Martin child was gunned down?
As to the sickness, the only sickness I see is the hate filled rhetoric your continue to spew and lie about in this very forum. Your attacks upon the very gay and lesbian youth this law seeks to protect, is just another example of blaming the victim instead of taking responsibility for your own actions. Furthermore, your very suggestion of putting these dysfunctional children in a boxing ring speaks volumes to your sanity.
As to these children taking responsibility, these anti-bullying laws are the first step to ensuring that anyone who bullies and victimizes another, will have to face the consequences of their actions and pay the price for their activities.
