Here's a PDF link to North Dakota's anti-bullying legislation. The site I found it on (
BullyPolice.org), considers this to be "A++" legislation, which is why I picked it. Please feel free to bring up others.
My quick reading is it's both too expansive and restricted at the same time.
A student needs to be in "actual and reasonable fear of harm", so "God says you'll burn in hell faggot" isn't covered. OTOH, it
does cover the reception of electronic media while at school.
So, a bully can email someone from a private account while not at school, and be disciplined by the school because the recipient opened it there? That seems like a bad precedent, even if what it's trying to accomplish has good intent.
