Bullying measure fails in committee

Link
7/2/2008

"Members of a House judiciary committee narrowly rejected Tuesday the Senate version of an anti-bullying bill, saying it does not go far enough to protect schoolchildren from abuse.

The party-line, 8-6 vote again reflected the debate about whether the legislation should specifically mention students who show homosexual or transgender characteristics as likely targets for bullies."
