Prof. Ralph Stein recently participated in the the Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the NYCLU’s annual celebration of Bill of Rights Day.
At the celebration, featured by the Peekskill-Cortlandt Patch, several high school students were honored for their essays on bullying.
According to the article:
Ralph Stein, professor of Law at Pace University, led the students in a discussion about bullying and the role schools should play. One Thornton student shared that she was able to transform her experience as a victim into becoming a “stronger individual who is resilient,” Stein noted, however that, while some people rebound from a bad experience and become stronger, “…not everyone is a Tom Paine.”
Awards were presented to winners of the Bill of Rights Essay Contest. This year’s contest asked students to consider how school administrators should address bullying.
