Senate Gets Bill Banning Bullying Acts in the Schools

Legislation aimed at banning bullying in public schools, including
harassment based on sexual orientation, has been quietly introduced in

transgender students and teachers, has been a priority of advocates
for gay and lesbian rights but was ignored for nearly a decade in the
Senate.
