Some in New Jersey say new anti-bullying law may go too far

From The New York Times: Although many parents and educators welcome efforts to curb bullying on campus and online, some superintendents and school board members across New Jersey say a state law that takes effect Sept. 1 reaches much too far; they complain that they have been given no additional resources to meet its mandates. The law, known as the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights, is considered the toughest legislation against bullying in the nation. It demands that all public schools adopt comprehensive anti-bullying policies, increase staff training and adhere to tight deadlines for reporting episodes.
