FRANKFORT -- A bill aimed at curbing bullying in schools won House passage Thursday despite concerns it was so broadly written that it could apply to football players.
The bill would require school districts to have conduct codes prohibiting the "harassment, intimidation or bullying" of students. Schools would be expected to have policies to promptly investigate reports of bullying and to protect those lodging complaints from retaliation.
"It will promote respect for each student and hold accountable those students who bully other children," said Rep. Mike Cherry, D-Princeton, the bill's sponsor.
Is it currently ok to harass, intimidate and bully other students in school? Maybe it's just me, but I was under the impression that this sort of thing is already prohibited. Somebody clear things up for me, please.
