The Massachusetts Senate passed 38-0 S2630, a MassEquality-supported anti-bullying bill on Thursday April 10, that would protect students in legally-protected classes, including gay and lesbian students, from harassment.
The bill, "An Act Relative to Bullying," would require public school departments to develop a bullying prevention plan, to prevent "any unwelcome written or verbal expressions, physical acts or gestures directed at a student or another member of the school community to intimidate, frighten, ridicule, humiliate, or cause physical or emotional harm to that person, and where the conduct is not related to the person's membership in a legally protected class and is not considered harassment under federal or state laws."
