Obviously, the program was a fail. Parents are suing and the bullies now have real facts to use when insulting and harassing their victims.
A better and more effective program would ask different questions and group the kids accordingly. In my version of the program, the questions would be:
- Do you have an older sibling that belongs to the MS13 gang?
- Have you ever prayed for something horrible to happen to someone and it did happen? Are you a person of strong faith?
- Do you have access anthrax? Is chemistry your favorite subject?
- Do you own a pit bull? Do you have access to a pit bull? Are you related to Michael Vick?
- Do you have a parent who works for the IRS?
Original bully cartoon. I titled it 'BURN IN HELL BULLY' |
In the end of the program, I would hand out voodoo dolls to all the kids and tell them the voodoo magic will activate if anyone bullies you.
I know this program may have some flaws but if it can stop one bully from picking on a poor child, then I think it is worth implementing.
