DOJ: ‘School Bullies Become Tomorrow’s Hate Crime Defendants’ | CNSNews.com

DOJ: ‘School Bullies Become Tomorrow’s Hate Crime Defendants’ | CNSNews.com: (CNSNews.com) – In a blog post on its website last week, the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division warned that “school bullies become tomorrow’s hate crimes defendants.”

“School bullies become tomorrow’s hate crimes defendants, while victims of bullying are more likely to drop out of school, struggle in class, engage in illegal drug use or become involved in the criminal justice system,” the DOJ said in a blog posted on Oct. 31 titled, “An End to Bullying & Equal Opportunities for All Students.”

“Bullying is not a rite of passage; the impact of bullying extends far beyond the schoolhouse doors. Bullying can lead to violence, anxiety, depression and even suicide,” the blog added. “It is simply unacceptable, moreover, that any child should fear going to school because of harassment.”
