Bullies have existed since time immemorial, and they still exist everywhere, from the workplace to the community, and as always, in the schoolyard.
It would be nice if that unpleasant reality of interpersonal relations could be eliminated, but the question is how.
Bullies don’t usually respond to reason or cajoling, but they often do respond to brute force. Many of us remember being tested by the school bully, finally standing up to him and planting a solid punch right on his nose, and suddenly seeing the bully turn into a reasonable, even pleasant human being. This applies to raising kids in general, where the bully child constantly tests the parent and sometimes only responds to brute force rather than cajoling and pleading.
The problem is that liberals and lefty politicians have fallen for the whole “self esteem” movement, so kids are given way too much power and never experience a reprimand more forceful than a “time out.” And to make sure that is so, laws have been passed so that any discipline more forceful that “let’s reason together, Johnny,” or “please go to your quiet spot Susie” is seen as violent child abuse, to be punished by incarceration or having the children removed from the parents care. Now a new city ordinance in Shawano, Wisconsin puts parents in a double bind, and there is a good deal of confusion and disagreement about how fair the ordinance is.

Right on Frank Viegas…
Sounds like the parents of wisconsin need to start bullying their representatives.
Teach your kids self defense instead of teaching them how to be victims. Teach them personal responsibility for their actions. Right and wrong. Teach them how to defend those who can not defend themselves. Stop helping to create the culture of victims.
It’s damn well about time
Can not hold someone else responsible for some one else’s actions. This is basic law.
Hang the Bullies
Bullying comes from these stupid rules at school,every time my son tried to stand up to a bully,he got in trouble,they called me and I said if you would just let my child stand up to him this would be over,The teacher saw him bullying my son one day and turned her head as my son took care of it!No more bullying!
Now that is not extortion. To fine someone else for others, actions is a fucking extortion. When the is school starts paying fines to the parent for teaching kids to bully? Kids don’t bully until then end up the school system that teach them to.
When they get to school they are under the teacher care. Fine the teacher how can you fine someone that was not there to stop it. The school has pushed the parent out of the discipline of the child using bullying of taking kids for being spanked. This is not about bullying it is about extortion, kidnapping for the profit of the DHS and Citys.
I knew some Idiot would eventually bring race into the conversation. Fucking moron.
