Got a call this evening from rodeo clown Marvin Nash. We discussed some mutual acquaintances in the rodeo world and he mentioned he was in NM conducting a program for school kids. It was a program about bullying called Bullying Hurts. Marvin started this anti-bullying program over 10 years ago, long before Oprah, The View or other media types picked up on this issue.
Check out the video below, visit his website, review the programs offered and check out the ringing endorsements from various school officials (One principal reported a 75% decline in bullying incidents).
If you are as impressed as I was, you may want this program brought to your school.
Besides, you have to know that anyone who pushed a clown's barrel all the way from Cowtown, NJ to Washington DC - just to bring this issue to the public's attention - darn sure believes in what he's doing.
KTUL
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
