Bullying Common In CdA Schools

Coeur d’Alene school leaders are getting a glimpse of how cruelly some students treat each other, including sexual harassment, racial bias, religious intolerance, gay-bashing and badgering kids who are overweight, poor or disabled. In a new report prefaced with a warning of offensive language, bullying expert Steve Wessler shares details of candid meetings he held with almost 300 middle school and high school students last fall. The 14-page report released Friday presents raw anecdotes of bad behavior, from vicious name-calling to physical attacks. “A number of these incidents appear to involve criminal sexual assault or physical assault,” Wessler noted/ Scott Maben , SR.
