Focus on the Family / ADF 'model' bullying policy will 'minimalize the possibility that teachers and administrators will be held liable for failing to report bullying behavior'

Zack Ford at ThinkProgress itemizes the scheme. By the way, ADF used to stand for Alliance Defense Fund (which bullied the ACLU a lot). Now it stands for Alliance Defending Freedom. AKSARBENT wonders why they changed their name.
Focus on the Family and the Alliance Defending Freedom have released a new resource they call the Anti-Bullying Policy Yardstick. Under the guise of “helping parents protect their children” the guide actually features an elaborate scheme to ensure religious bullying is protected in schools while students most likely to be targeted for harassment are made more vulnerable.
No wonder the ADF wants to neutralize anti-bullying policies: below is an example of how the ADF itself used to bully the ACLU — with nonsense propaganda portraying it as a child predator.
     The issue was the ACLU's "Don't Filter Me" campaign, which sued school districts which blocked gay friendly websites, including the It Gets Better project to combat bullying, but allowed access to antigay Christer sites and junk "conversion therapy" sites.
     The issue of pornography was a calculated ADF lie. According to the L.A. Times (always a more credible source than Focus on the Family or the ADF) the ACLU campaign targeted censorship of gay-themed, non-sexually explicit websites, not porn.
