This is a huge step for fighting bullying in Indiana. An anti-bullying bill has passed the House in a 77-17 vote and is now headed to the senate.
The bill, if it passes, will make it mandatory for school systems to run anti-bullying seminars for students and training programs for teachers. In addition, schools would have to report all incidents of bulling in a report at the end of the year. There would also be better and more detailed procedures when it comes to investigating an incident.
This is a huge step toward doing something for bullying! There are so many schools that turn a blind eye toward bullying, or who's hands are tied when it actually comes to stepping in. This could help change all that, and if it works out could very easily pass to other states.
