Books: "Sticks And Stones" Headed Our Way In February

A new book about rise in concerns about -- and responses to -- cyberbullying is heading our way this winter, via Slate's Emily Bazelon.  It's called Sticks and Stones: The New Problem of Bullying and How to Solve It.  Her latest article on the topic, about the dismissal of the case against Murray County High School in the documentary "Bully," is here.  You can sign up for publication updates at Bazelon's site here.  Or if you want to know what the various state laws are against cyberbullying, check cyberbullying.us (via Bazelon) If you're in the mood to read a long, harrowing account of being bullied check out "My bully, my best friend" in Salon here.  Image via

I follow a blog that discusses special education law, specifically bullying. I think one misinterpretation on the part of the public is that bullying is a federal crime... it really isn’t, not yet. On the state level, most areas are at least stepping up.
