Steinbach MLA, Kelvin Goertzen, is hoping that local residents take the opportunity to provide feedback to his Party on Bill 18, legislation that is intended to reduce bullying but has become controversial as Manitobans debate whether it will be either effective or constitutional.
Bullying is deeply hurtful to students and destructive to the culture of schools. All forms of bullying, whether verbal, physical or electronic, often leave painful scars that take considerable time to heal.
Steinbach Christian High School (SCHS), a local, independent – faith based school, has recently expressed concerns regarding proposed government legislation and how it might erode the religious freedoms, independent governance and operations of their school.
