There were mixed opinions at the virtual public hearing Wednesday about state guidelines to address bullying and harassment in schools. Some feel that the policy is too loose and were concerned with the wording used in the document.

SALT LAKE CITY — Back in June, the Utah State Board of Education passed a rule about bullying and harassment policies in schools, but local organizations requested a public comment hearing to raise some concerns before the policies come into effect.

Along with that group, the Utah chapter of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, and Path Forward Utah were the three organizations that requested a public comment hearing to discuss the rule. On the other hand, some parents say defining race would lead to more discrimination because kids could feel left out. One of the ways that the state let public and charter school districts figure out what policies they can try to implement was through the student climate survey. But that method faced criticism.

Some parents felt that the questions in the survey asking kids how they are feeling could give them ideas to hurt themselves.
