Yes. Federal (U.S.) law says that school may not be deliberately indifferent to harassment or discrimination against students in school based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. If you think this is happening in your child’s school, you should consult an attorney. For more help or to get specific answers to your questions about bullying in schools: • Your Local Legal Aid Office or call 1-866-LAW-OHIO (529-6446) • Private Attorneys – Ask your local Legal Aid office or check your local yellow pages See also the Forms & Education tab in this section for more information.
