This is important; this bill includes anti-bullying protections for the future generations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students, as well as for other minority groups. Just as we need federal hate crime legislation to deal with the terrorism that hate crimes inflict on broader communities, we need anti-bullying legislation to protect LGBT and other minority youth from terrorism in their schools.
And the Feds will handle this better than say, banking, the stock market or foreign policy?
