I have no time for it and if the school cannot immediately put an end to the nonsense, then it is up to me to protect my children.

With that aside, as a very-soon-to-be father, I know that I would want to protect my child if a bullying situation was getting out of hand. What the video doesn't say is what kind of discussion the father and his daughter had before he got involved. Maybe she asked him for Allen Weaverhttp://www.speedsuitpowers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386759355610512412.post-89840073956446956112010-09-21T21:46:29.575-04:002010-09-21T21:46:29.575-04:00I can't believe the coincidence of our posts o...I can't believe the coincidence of our posts on bullying...mine of the cyber kind.

What would be the right way??? Going to the district? (I guess maybe he has tried that...) We have been shown time and again our school districts have no idea how to handle bullying. Period.

I may not have threatened the kids but Lord knows the "crazy black mom" would have come out. Listen, it is our duty to protect our children. This man wasn't seriously going to hurt those kids.

I respect Mr. Jones for getting on that bus and addressing those kids and their insensitive attitudes. We need more parents to step up for their kids to prevent fights and self harm that occurs as a result of the low self esteem these kids develop.
