"House Bill 370 prohibits the bullying because of a student's sexual orientation, race or religion."

Wait, wait, wait... We're only prohibiting certain types of bullying? So it's perfectly ok to bully a kid based on his weight, height, clothes or family's wealth?

Why the fuck are we qualifying bullying? Teachers should be required to stop bullying. The end.

[edit: used "quantifying" instead of "qualifying"]

The reason for adding qualifiers is because some teachers share qm's idea that certain types of abuse (especially verbal/psychological) are not bullying but simply "free speech".

They should reword the bill, then, if it's worded the way it was said by the anchor. The way he said it, it would not apply in any of the examples I gave above.
