Bullying will no longer be tolerated in Ontario schools. Finally
- officially! The Accepted Schools Act, an anti-bullying
legislation, also known as Bill 13, is well on its way to
becoming law. Bill 13 passed through the Legislative Assembly of
Ontario on Tuesday June 5 and will receive Royal Assent later
this month which could result in it becoming a law in time for
the new school year in September. With the passing of this bill
children and parents can look at school in a new light. No more
faking sick for kids who have been bullied, no more tears and
sleepless nights. Instead kids can go back to looking forward to
the first day of school. Sleepless nights as a result of
excitement over seeing their friends, going to track and field
meets and pizza day, rather than sleepless nights because of
worry and anxiety about the bully who teases them daily. This
law will give children the support they deserve, showing them
that we are here to protect them and
