&lt;p&gt;also, if PARENTS were held responsible for their children&amp;#39;s bullying, it would happen less.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if you want the iron fist of government involved, at least use them effectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2009 Senate Bill 159 (Require school bullying policies )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/270436.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:44:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:270436</guid><dc:creator>warrior</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/270436.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&amp;PostID=270436</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Many ( I mean great number) of Michigan school districts already have these policies in place.&amp;nbsp; The state department does not need to re-invent the wheel in developing &lt;span&gt;a policy prohibiting harassment, intimidation, or bullying.&amp;nbsp; The department needs to work with such organizations as NEOLA and MASB who developed policy templates on this issue as long as five years ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
