Bully Free DC Day, or day four of spring break

Published April 21, 2011 4:00am ET



Mayor Vincent Gray declared Thursday to be “Bully Free DC Day,” an interesting choice considering D.C. public schools are on spring break through Monday. But hey — that makes it unlikely any kid is being bullied in school today. Touche, mayor.

“Bullying is a problem that is increasingly terrorizing more young people at school,” Mayor Gray wrote in the proclamation. “Bully Free DC Day will help combat this problem…I call upon all the residents of this great city to join me in increasing public awareness about the growth and ill effects of the behavior we know as bullying.”
