AC360: Federal anti-LGBT bullying bill draws fire from Focus on the Family

by Matt Comer September 2, 2010

Anderson Cooper took on anti-LGBT bullying in schools last night, and spoke with GLSEN executive director Eliza Byard, along with Focus on the Family’s Candi Cushman and Rosalind Wiseman, author of “Queen Bees & Wannabees.” The topic: federal legislation which aims to prevent anti-LGBT bullying and discrimination in public K-12 schools.

For the record, North Carolina has taken steps to protect all children from bullying. That legislation, the School Violence Prevention Act, was passed in 2009 and is inclusive of bullying based on real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity.
