Add a CommentIn "The House" the other day, Stephen Harper stood up in relation to rising social concern over bullying and it's heartbreaking consequences,saying that " if something is illegal, in the external public Canadian realm, then it is illegal on the Internet", looking all self-satisfied; but he and his Cons just removed the illegality of Hate Speech on the Internet. Hate Speech laws are somemething good and concerned people fought hard for; HATE SPEECH IS BULLYING!!
Just more lip service on bullying and a simplistic, voyeuristic and slanted view. This documentary focuses only on specific groups of bullied children: special needs, transgendered, gay, etc. - all of them appear to be working class families. They do not delve into why the bullying occurs or interview the bullies. Interviews with the administration, the bus drivers, the parents of the bullies are missing. What about the bystanders, nope, hardly anything there either and they have the most power. What about showing programs that work to stop bullying? NOPE! Bullying can happen to ANY kid from ANY walk of life, I would like to see something finally happen about it but this movie is not the answer.
This is a great documentary that should be used has a tool to discuss with your young ones about what happens or what is being done to them and others in school/school yard/buses. Highly recommend.
