How have states responded to the problem of bullying and hazing in public schools? The purpose of this material is to assist administrators in understanding the State’s legal response to the problem of bullying and hazing in our public schools, as well as to provide an overview of sexual harassment and racial insensitivity in the school setting. This material also contains a discussion of several recent cases from other jurisdictions. For a more recent discussion of New Hampshire’s bullying law, including a discussion of the proposed amendments to RSA 193-F and cyberbullying, please see “Why I Slugged Mikey: A Review of How the Law Responds to Bullies” on the Publications page of our website.
