STOP BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOLS!

It's time in this day of extreme school violence, that bullying, hazing, etc. be banned in schools.  There is no excuse for it & needs to be taken seriously.  All students should have the right to an education or to participate in school activities without being abused.  It's time this country became PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE.  This petition will be forwarded on to lawmakers in an effort to get reform to put an end to bullying & gangs in schools.  Students deserve a bill of rights, such as:

It is the policy of the Board of Education to maintain learning environments that are free from harassment or bullying.
