Both Representative Ruben Hope (Conroe) and Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) have introduced legislation about bullies in schools this Session. Finally getting back at your tormentors?
Representative Hope's bill would permit victims of bullying to be transferred to other schools or classes. We'd rather you get rid of the bully Representative Hope. Go re-write this. The victim shouldn't have to move (unless it's their choice to do so) but the bully should be the one forced out. May we suggest Odessa?
Senator Zaffirini's proposal would require schools to provide basically the same sensitivity training course we had to go to after Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas ruined all the fun in corporate America. Oh well, it worked. We rarely get a good game of 'grab-ass' going anymore. Everyone's so sensitive these days.
Wait... why would kids want to transfer? So they can get labeled as wusses at the new school?
Sounds sorta like painting a target on their back to me.
As for the Giants, their own happiness was short-lived as they lost to - who else?
Maybe this is not a case of getting back at childhood tormentors, but of atoning for past (and perhaps, in Zaffirini's case, recent) sins of the bullying sort.
