December 19, 2010- From the Tallahassee Democrat: State Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda (D-Tallahassee) is leading a task force to take a community look at bullying. Newsome, as well as about 25 other people including clergy, students, school district, Florida State and Florida A&M officials, are part of the task force. "We want to be a part of the awareness," Rehwinkel Vasilinda said. "I don't just want to talk about the issue." The group is just getting off the ground, but Rehwinkel Vasilinda helped plan a community screening in January of the movie "Bullied," about a boy who was bullied for years for being gay. The screening will be held Jan. 25 at the Tallahassee Community College Turner Auditorium. "There are all reasons to be bullied, for being the 'other.' We have to get beyond that culture," Rehwinkel Vasilinda said. |
