Years ago, my sons’ high school headmaster (aka. “principal”) launched a program aimed at civility.
He was concerned that kids were becoming disrespectful to adults … and to each other.
Most parents thought the idea was a bit quirky… students had no idea what he was talking about.
The guy eventually got canned when he allowed police into the school to arrest some kids who were peddling drugs … a rather uncivil behavior. (Parents thought that letting police into the school was uncivil …)
My take: the guy was a couple of decades ahead of his time.
Fast forward to today.
As near as I can tell, the anti-bullying campaigns and rhetoric have been largely pushed to the back burner … only being cameoed when there is a teen tragedy directly linked to bullying.
Why is that happening?
Simple.
The bullies keep emerging as winners … and winning beats losing.
