With all the talk in Frankfort the last few years about making school districts set up policies to deal with bullying (a bullying bill was finally signed into law this year after several failed attempts), it is amazing that Fayette County Schools is still asleep at the wheel.
From the Lexington Herald Leader:
The key part is the school's refusal to move the daughter out of harm's way despite multiple requests. When taxpayers can take the public money dedicated to each child's education and move that child elsewhere in pursuit of better results, the system will cease to function primarily for the benefit of the bureaucrats who run the system.

Hi KP. I think you may have messed up on this one. I reviewed their policies on-line and found that their anti-bullying and harrassment policies were strong and were implemented prior to the bullying legislation passing.
So they just decided not to follow their strong and previously implemented policies in this one case, 8:41? Is that what you are saying?
How do you know this is true? Anyone can sue anyone nowdays. Inocent until proven guilty, or have you forgot!!!
I don't have any idea if the allegations in this one case are true, but that is beside the point. A child who doesn't feel safe in school shouldn't be trapped by bureaucrats. We are allowing our own government to trap our children with our money. Independence Day was all about throwing off that kind of nonsense, by force if necessary. I'm advocating for this change peacefully.
"When taxpayers can take the public money dedicated to each child's education and move that child elsewhere in pursuit of better results, the system will cease to function primarily for the benefit of the bureaucrats who run the system."
This is an excellent quote that says it all KP! Thanks.
I would add a comma after the word system, and add this... ", and the leftists who exploit our children for their social change agenda and desire for a socialist international government."
Another profound statement by KP: "We are allowing our own government to trap our children with our money. Independence Day was all about throwing off that kind of nonsense, by force if necessary."
Yes sir, we are funding, coercively under threat of jail or worse of course, our own demise!
Good luck with the peaceful change KP. When you get to the point of frustration at the futility of all that, let us know and we will be happy to share our 3-Bs with you.
OK Free, you have peaked my curiosity......"3-Bs"?
I don't see any possibility of civil unrest or worse in that category.
Civil unrest only works for the "politically correct".
3-Bs - Bilbes, Bullets, and Beans!
"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our Founding Fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well - by creating the international child of the future."
--Professor Chester M. Pierce, M.D., Professor of Education and Psychiatry at Harvard
"The schools cannot allow parents to influence the kind of values-education their children receive in school; that is what is wrong with those who say there is a universal system of values. Our (humanistic) goals are incompatible with theirs. We must change their values."
--Paul Haubner, specialist for the N.E.A.
"Among the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further the cultural revolution are...[a] National Department of Education...the studies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of religious, patriotic, and other features of the bourgeois ideology. The students will be taught the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, internationalism and the general ethics of the new Socialist society."
--William Z. Foster, Toward Soviet America, 1932 National Chairman of the American Communist Party (1933-44, 1945-57)
