Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover’s Legacy: Massachusetts’ Anti-Bullying Bill Heads to Gov’s Desk
Both chambers of the Massachusetts legislature yesterday passed a reconciled anti-bullying bill, which now heads to Gov. Deval Patrick’s desk, who is expected to sign it. Not only does the bill cover classroom bullying, it reaches into cyber-bullying as well, in nods to both Phoebe Prince and Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, the 11-year-old from Springfield who killed himself in August after taunts about his sexuality.

So is the next step that we’re going to start throwing people in jail for being mean? Do children not have First Amendment rights too?
