This just makes me sick…

On November 2, minutes before voting to pass a new bullying bill, the Michigan State Senate added special language that provides a blueprint for bullies. According to this language, as long as the bullying is done because of “a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction,” then it’s ok.

I just… How the hell is that the line they draw, where students are allowed to bully someone if it’s because of their religious or moral beliefs? Seriously? I was bullied back in middle school (emotionally, fortunately not physically) by “Christian” kids who thought they were so much better than me because they went to church on Sundays and I didn’t, despite the fact that I had stronger morals than these specific kids- for instance, I would never punch my mom.

This whole thing just makes no sense to me. Ugh.
