We have a double-standard when it comes to bullies

Published 1:30 am Sunday, February 11, 2024

It continues to amaze me (actually appall me) that there are still adult leaders who publicly engage in name calling, bullying and harassment. One in particular hopes to get elected.

How can we ignore the very behavior that we are teaching our children not to do. If you are the parent of a child who has been bullied or harassed or have experienced it yourself, it is disgraceful to accept this. If you are an educator who has had to work harder to be trained to support anti-bullying and anti-harassment while seeing the guilty students disciplined for such behavior (as far as being expelled), you can’t possibly accept this.
