Stamping on bullies

Since I made fun of the Guardian's decision to put a bullying story on the front page at the expense of the historic meeting in Northern Ireland I may as well touch on what the article discusses. A Commons education select committee report recommends that a national enquiry into school bullying be undertaken as the committee believes that schools are under reporting cases in order to protect their reputations.

The committee also points a finger at Catholic schools, who have so far "refused to follow government guidelines...[on] homophobic bullying". This must be part of their "hate the sin - bully the sinner" campaign I reckon.
