The film “Bully” opens today in Lakeport. I hope everyone who is at all influential upon a child’s education will go and watch this film.
I know of at least one class-wide trip to see “The Hunger Games;” how much more vital if Lake County schools arranged field trips to view “Bully” on the big screen.
Looking ahead, once the film has been released on DVD, I hope it is shown in every classroom and to parents during back-to-school events.
I would like this film to become part of orientation for newly-elected school board members. I would like bullying to be a campaign issue for anyone who seeks election.
Put simply, it is that important. Bullying is serious. Bullying is wrong. It can have devastating short- and long-term consequences. Every child (and adult) should be protected from bullying.
