The #1 priority in our schools is to stop bullying. Any administrator in our school system, by law, must drop anything and everything that they are doing to deal with a situation of bullying.

Watching the Democrats’ smoothly staged, potently scripted convention last week, voters could easily think that Hillary Clinton has this election in the bag.
