Anti-bullying law gives Jeffrey Johnston's grieving mom hope

Jeffrey Johnston was a "techno geek," a straight-A student and a vegetarian -- a teenager who loved computers, animals and his large family.

Yeah every time some one dies we need a new law to protect us...where does it end, stop creating new ridiculous laws

[UncommonSense]

It is actually propaganda being bought and sold to your children, now they will have to sit through acceptance classes to indoctinate them into the gay lifestyle...just see who funded the bill GLADly

[Chester DeGrasse]

Things can be improved. Ignore the hate.

You small minded twit. No one wants to "indoctrinate" your children. However, it would be nice for them to learn that people whom YOU choose to pretend don't exist are real people with real lives and problems like the rest of us.

You know. you really should get a life.

No article that I can see.

Would be delighted to see an anti-bullying law enacted. Has nothing to do with gays vs. non-gays. Has everything to do with restoring some modicum of control and civility in our schools.

[Olando]

um, is there a story associated with this? I didnt see one.

Anyway, bullies suck and they deserve karma payback on a large scale.

Parents tell your children that one day they will make more money, travel more places, and be the bullies boss.

For now, help your children survive. Teach them to defend themselves no matter what the school says. A knocked down bully will not come after your child again. He/she will move onto easier prey. All it takes is one well placed hit.

It may cost your kid a day of suspension but it will be richly worth it.

I'd say this article is short on substance.... :-)

Exactly. Once bullies are made to take responsibility for their action, they will have to think twice about it.

I understand people don't like bullies. Neither did I. But what happens if a teacher makes you about to be a bully? When you are not. What do you do then?

Id love for my kid to whack his bullying teacher right between the eyes.

Good thing the worthless bitcch wont be retained next year with the budget cuts!!

[Reality is here]

Now, lets make sure that also enact bullying laws in the corporate world since these kids are not going to grow up knowing how to defend themselves. These kids can grow into weakling men that get pushed around the office, and then perhaps we can have an entire weakling country and perhaps we can all start speaking Chinese in 50 years.

Grow up! Being picked on and picking on other kids IS a part of growing up. It's part of discovering yourself and dealing with society. And guess what? Sometimes an obnoxious kid (or man) may need a good slap in the face to put things back into perspective. What is wrong with this country? Lawmakers, lawyers and liberals are destroying us while we sit by and watch it happen. When is this country going to wake up. I feel sorry for our grandchildren.

Waste of resources and a non-issue. This law wont prevent kids from picking on kids. Grow a pair, educate your kids, dont raise a limp wristed target and help them with thier social skills. Quit whining this is unacceptable behavior for children and wont be justified by trying to shield them from normal kids.

[Crush The Weak]

More nanny-state garbage. The next step is to give gazelles a longer head start from the lions in the jungle.

The strong have every right to beat up the weak. Weaklings are contemptible for their own weakness. If you can't defend it, then it really isn't yours to begin with.

Obviously you were one of the weak kids.

NO...it's all part of the GAY agenda. Pass these ridiculous laws that legitimize homosexual behavior and punish any normal child or citizen that may find the abomination of homosexuality offensive.

Excuse me, moron, but there is a difference between finding something offensive--- and ---acting out with violence because you find something offensive. It's angry, pea-brained people like you who cause this mess. In a sane, logical world, we wouldn't have to have laws to protect us from right-wing nut-jobs like you.

I couldn't care any less about your being offended. Even if i did, I wouldn't try to legitimize violence against you because of it, though if I were to sink to your level, I guess that would sound pretty good about now. Fortunately, I do not sink to your level of bottom feeding.

Ever heard of live and let live? I think more gay people would act accordingly and not feel they have to be so vocal; be willing to live out their lives quietly and in peace. But, you know, there is this "little problem" of people like you, often times religious hypocrites who fear they might have gay tendencies of their own, that want to harm us.Yeh---what would Jesus do? Certianly not kill, maim, bash, or otherwise harm a soul.Does this sound like your religious beliefs?

You know what they say about the person that hollers the loudest against something....look at the many televangelists, congressmen, pastors, ad nauseum, that ranted against gay people and then were caught in "compromising positions"-----they all ranted just like you are ranting now. Hmmmm---definitely food for thought!

Please seek professional help as you are a danger to the community at large and a ticking time-bomb. Your hatred and fear is very obvious.

[SadWorld]

The lack of compasion on these forums always amaze me.

You're talking about a dead child. Please try to act like you were raised with manners and morals.

Talking hate about the weak kids, and gays is just terrible.
