Would creating new laws improve bullying, or do we just have to enforce existing ones? I don't know. I do know something should be done because bullying is a real social problem that harms a lot of people.

Adding new laws to old laws isn't always bad. It's sometimes necessary because evil people can be some creative fuckers.

Needless to say, though I applaud this proposed law in spirit, I find myself opposing it because of a real possibility of abuse against the wronged parties.

But I'm supposed to believe that strict "anti-bullying" laws, enforced by Big Brother, will "cure" the problem of bullying? Sorry, I'm not buying that.
A few years back I ran into my state representative who told me that in order to "reduce the number of assault weapons" he would be seeking stricter gun registration policies during the next legislative session. My reply: "Well all of you (politicians) promised to get the drugs off the streets, starting 50 years ago. Why don't you finish accomplishing that before asking for further intrusions upon our freedoms and wallets?" Naturally, he was insulted, flustered, and bewildered. This brought me great pleasure.

Don't tell Average Joe that bullying is illegal and therefore he can say nothing hurtful {because you know in that situation unpopular and hurtful would be come synonyms}. Instead tell Jack Ass that if he locks kids in the locker he will be suspended for a month.

I was bullied and it effects me to this day in my mid 40s.
My mother was of the belief that I was the one that was bringing it on and that if I did anything to protect myself that I would get in trouble if I hit back. The beatings and humiliation continued. My father realized what was going on. He said:
"The police can only get the story straight from the person still conscious. The guy in the gutter? He doesn't have a story."
The following day I was at a football game and one of my bullies and her toadies started to fuck with me. I warned her. And then I gave her my best right hook. This attracted the attention of some rival school girls that were looking for trouble. They asked me what happened. I told them. They then harrassed this girl to the point that she begged me to get them off her back and she never bothered me again. And the girl that was harrassing me was a teen moo to boot. Nice.

Anyway, I think the best approach for those that want their kids to enjoy a free public education on the taxpayers' dime is to do what we all have to do if we want to enjoy anything like driving a car. Liability Insurance.
Yes. You heard me. Starting in kindergarten. The policies would not cost a lot. And if your kid is as sweet and innocent as you claim they are, then you can get all that money back in premiums when they graduate, tax free, as long as it is used for higher education purposes. And if your kid isn't as sweet and innocent as you claim they are? Then their victims will get a nice chunk of cash to buy the newest smartphone or designer sneakers and your premiums will go up. And they will keep going up every time your little bully breaks the rules. Let it get to the point it is so expensive to send your kid to free public school that it would be cheaper to go to a private academy where they don't play games with bullies and they are dealt with by the teachers and administration as necessitated by policy

I'm really surprised that any CF people, bullied or not, would be in favor of these laws. The authorities don't need any more power than they already have.
