This article talks about a young man that committed suicide last July, and his mother believes he did so because of anti-gay bullying in school. His mother believes that the district policy stopped teachers from preventing anti-gay bullying and intervening when it occurred. After reading the policy I can see why she would think that. The fact is that this student should have had a safe school environment like the schools guarantee, and he didn’t. Bullying is becoming a big issue in schools not just bullying of LGBT but also other students. I hope schools change their policies on these types of things so teachers are able to do what is right without the fear of being fired for it.
