Washington: Anti-Terrorism, Anti-Bullying

In what some are calling a long-need comprehensive effort to prevent extremism and others are calling a touchy-feely mishmosh of disparate programs cobbled together with no particular means of effectiveness, the White House is rolling out a new initiative to counter radicalization that includes USDE funded anti-bullying programs.  How is radical extremism related to bullying?  The example used in this NPR story is a girl being teased in school for wearing a hijab, who might become radicalized by her experience or influence family members (White House Report To Detail Anti-Extremism Effort).  I'm not sure I'm buying it, and not sure what the anti-bullying people feel about being pulled into the anti-terrorism business.  Image via
