"Hi daddy," little Hawaii or Lilo piped as she burst through the doors of Alfreds home.
She just got back from school, she was crying; again.
"Hey dad," Alaska or Steven called out, following his older sister.
He had bruises,a black and a fat lip.
Alfred walked in wearing an apron over his usaul attire, with a ladel in his hand , he dropped it when he saw his two youngest children, either in tears or bruised. He ran to Lilo and kenlt to her level, he let her cry in his chest while he looked Steven and examined his bruises.
"What happened?" he yelled," who did this? !"
"Some punks at school," The boy said with an angry glare," They started to bully lilo, pulling her hair, calling her names, and the usaul."
Alfred grinded his teeth, the sixth time this month Steven and Lilo came home like this, he informed the school God knows how many times. The principal claimed that he stopped everything but the kids were still beig harrassed. Bullying was going to far an kept telling his boss about it, luckily Obama, unlike the other bosses, listened. As of right now forty-nine of the kids have passed school anti-bullying legislation, the first being Georgia in 1999. The one state without anti-bullying legislation is Montana for reasons unknown. A watchdog organization called Bully Police USA advocates for and reports on anti-bullying legislation. North Dakota's legislature passed and Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed a bill into law April 22, 2011, which defines bullying in state law and outlines prevention policies for her public schools. North Dakota has been praised for her new law. Prior to its passage, North Dakota did not have anti-bullying legislation.
Georgia's anti-bullying legislation was strengthened in 2010 with the passage of Senate Bill 250. Senate Bill 250 included a provision allowing for those accused of bullying another student could be reassigned to another school in order to separate the offender and the victim of bullying; The Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act is part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It provides federal support to promote school safety but does not specifically address bullying and harassment in schools. There are no federal laws dealing directly with school bullying; however, bullying may trigger responsibilities under one or more of the federal anti-discrimination laws enforced by the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.
Starting in September 2011, New Jersey started to enforce the toughest bullying law in the country. Each school will have to report each case of bullying to the State, and the State will grade each school based on bullying standards, policies, and incidents. Each school must have an effective plan to deal with bullying. All school administrators and teachers are required to deal with any incidents of bullying reported to them or witnessed by them. Teachers must report any bullying incidents they witness to the administrators. Bullies risk suspensions to expulsions if convicted of any type of bullying; from minor teasing for severe cases.
Little Lilo only had a anti-bullying law that required teachers to address bullying of students based on sexual orientation, Steven's state law prohibits bullying in school but lists no categories of protection, it barley helped.
Alfred sighed and patted Lilo's back, comforting her.
"Steven, take your sister to the living room," He said calmly," I'll bring you snacks later."
The boy did as he was told and took his sister to the living room, he couldn't wait to be older and go live in his state, he was going to pass the strictest and harshest anti-bullying law ever. America walked to the kitchen and grabbed his phone, he pressed the speed dial and held the device in his ear.
"Hello this is the principal of-"
"Bill you bastard, you know who this is,"he growled,"Steven and Lilo came home in bruises."
"Now Alfred,I told you the bullying has stopped and-"
"Fuck, you know that they are being bullied and yet you won'tstop it," He yelled," I'm pulling them out of school and you are going to hear from my lawyer later."
"I have spoken with the three boys, they said they will try to understa-"
He slammed the phonedown and took in some deep breathes, this was putting to much stress on his body and country right now. But he needed to focus, he went to the fridge and gathered his kids favorite snacks, he placed them on a tray and walked to the living, smiling when he saw his babies laughing at the three stooges.
