School bullying is finally being addressed systemically, but there’s still much to do. For many minority students, especially those who are members of sex and gender minorities, bullying makes school a hell on earth, leading to disproportionate attacks, dropouts, and suicides.
Bullied is a documentary and teaching kit about student Jamie Nabozny’s groundbreaking lawsuit against his school district for turning a blind eye to the harassment and beatings he endured.
I’m proud to have a small role in the film as Jamie’s lawyer Joni Thome.
See facebook.com/BulliedMovie for theatrical premiere info or order your school’s free copy and learning module to have it ready to use during National Bullying Prevention Month (October 2010).
