Lawsuit Alleges Bullying of Jewish School Girl

Yesterday's Akron Beacon Journal reports on a federal lawsuit that was filed recently by the family of a 14-year old Green, Ohio girl alleging years of bullying which school officials and employees did nothing to stop.  Most of the bullying was verbal and much of it was directed at the girl's Jewish religious beliefs. However there were also incidents of physical attacks, as well as a Facebook page devoted to disparaging comments about the girl. The girl is now enrolled in a different school, and the case has been turned over to the school district's insurance company.
