NC: “Bullying bill dies over gay controversy”
. . . the measure was sent back to committee, where it is likely to stay as the legislature works to finish this year’s session.
The bill was controversial because it listed “sexual orientation” and other characteristics as reasons schoolchildren might be the targets of bullying. Groups such as the Christian Action League and the N.C. Family Policy Council did not want the term in state law, saying that gay-rights groups would use it to leverage other rights . . .
