Anyone else noticing this? I've seen stories on bullies on several different news stations in the last week, and I typically do not watch TV at all.
Doing a little research, I noticed that this year has been a big year to push brand new laws to criminalize teasing.
How do you feel about this movement? Should school kids get in legal trouble for their harsh words? Do you accept government infringement of free speech if they use the classic "for the children" excuse?
