Minn. school board ends policy blamed for bullying

COON RAPIDS, Minn.
The school board in Minnesota's largest school district on Monday night approved a replacement for a policy that required teachers to stay neutral when sexual orientation comes up in class, a stance that some critics blamed for fostering bullying.
The Anoka-Hennepin School Board adopted the "Respectful Learning Environment" policy on a voice vote. Only board member Kathy Tingelstad voted no.
Personally if teachers witness ANY kind of bullying they need to step in and put a stop to it. We've taken away the ability for kids to fight back for themselves... so they need someone to fight for them...
