Every day children suffer in silence because the problem of school bullying has not been seriously addressed by the State of Michigan. But now we have a chance to make significant changes in Michigan by passing Matt's Safe Schools Law.
Matt's Law will force every school district in Michigan to have an inclusive policy on bullying, with a uniform definition of bullying that includes all students. Matt's Law has passed the Michigan House of Representatives but still needs to pass the Michigan Senate. Governor Granholm has pledged to sign this legislation.
