Please consider allowing public schools to opt for a zero tolerance policy on bullying. Students who continue to harass other students will be forced to attend other schools or be homeschooled.
This may create a burden on parents with children who bully other students, but that child is their resposibility and the parents are ultimately responsible for their child's behavior.
The schools that agree to accept a zero tolerance policy will hopefully become a safe place for students where children can learn and their parents can worry a bit less about shootings that result from bullying.
While I agree that there are other causes for these shootings, this public policy could go a long way for the protection of our children.
Please help support this policy!
