D.C. Council members show support for anti-bullying bill

Six members of the D.C. Council voiced support Thursday afternoon for proposed anti-bullying legislation, almost enough to ensure approval in a May 2 hearing about the measure.

The effort was part of Mayor Vincent Gray’s “Bully Free DC” day, during which 30 local organizations gathered on the steps outside the Wilson building to garner public support for a bill that would prohibit harassment and intimidation in D.C. schools, libraries and parks.
