Bullying and Discrimination Against Students On Religious and Other Grounds Banned By New NY Law

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
On Monday, New York Governor David Patterson singed into law the Dignity for All Students Act.  The new law prohibits bullying of students by other students or school employees, as well as discrimination against students, taking place on school property or at a school function when the bullying or discrimination is based on the victim's actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender or sex. Yesterday's Queens Chronicle reports on the new law that takes effect July 1, 2012. (See prior related posting.)
