Anti-bullying summit held in Washington

The U.S. Department of Education last week participated in a two-day meeting in Washington D.C. designed to combat bullying in schools.

"We hope this summit will help us get ahead of the game by focusing on prevention and doing everything we can to bring this plague to an end," said Kevin Jennings (pictured), assistant deputy secretary of Education. Jennings, who is openly gay, founded the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network.
