President Obama Gives Hope to Teens - Michele Bachmann Unmoved by Suicides

From the "It Gets Better" You Tube channel:

"We got to dispel this myth that bullying is just a normal right of passage, that it is an inevitable part of growing up".

And what does Michele Bachmann think?

From the DB archives (2006):



Bachmann spoke in support of the bullying that is driving teens to commit suicide:

I think for all us our experience in public schools is there have always been bullies, always have been, always will be.
i just don't know how we're ever going to get to point of zero tolerance and what does it mean?

I guess, several questions that was comment, one question would be
what would be our definition of bullying?

will it get to the point where we are completely stifling free speech and expression?

will it mean that what form of behavior will there be, will we be expecting boys to be girls

what is it exactly that we're asking for?

i don't say that as a sexist comment but there are just differences with boys and girls when they're on the playground, when they're in the classroom.

None of us like inappropriate behavior, none of us like sassy children, but there's just a fact of life that as we grow up, we're kind of little barbarians when we're two and our process as mothers and fathers is to civilize our children.

I just don't know how we can realistically expect a zero tolerance of bullying behavior.

Reporters need to ask Bachmann if she believes teen suicide is "just a fact of life ".
