Kansas City councilman proposes city bullying ordinance
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Every Missouri school has anti-bullying policies. But Kansas City Councilman Scott Taylor is proposing a city ordinance, claiming school policies are not enough.
“Most of them in general cover only school property. Once you go off school property there's really not coverage for anti-bullying efforts like this,” Taylor said.

“Every child has the right to go to school in a safe atmosphere,” Taylor said.
No one at the meeting disputed that bullying exists, but questions were raised about the language in the proposed law.
Protestors say it could give police too much discretion to label something as bullying while others might simply consider it just bad behavior.
