According to the American Society for the Positive Care of Children

No federal law directly makes bullying a problematic offense in schools unless it is a discriminatory harassment that is directly related to a person’s race, religion, disability, gender, age, color or national origin. For now, when bullying is occurring due to a fully engaged form of harassment which discriminates, there are laws in place that require schools to act, to stop this serious and negative behavior.
