WASHINGTON – On Thursday, March 10, President Barack Obama, First Lady
Michelle Obama, the Department of Education, and the Department of Health
and Human Services will welcome students, parents, and teachers to the White
House for a Conference on Bullying Prevention.
The conference will bring together communities from across the nation who
have been affected by bullying as well as those who are taking action to
address it.  Participants will speak about the effects of bullying and the
work of students, parents, and teachers nationwide. Last fall the President
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/10/21/president-obama-it-gets-better> ,
Vice President <http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/civil-rights/it-gets-better>
and several administration officials <
http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/civil-rights/it-gets-better>  taped video
messages for the It Gets Better campaign and discussed the need to dispel
the myth that bullying is just a normal rite of passage.
Thursday’s conference will also include breakout sessions to discuss
effective policies and programs to prevent bullying followed by a wrap-up
session in which Secretaries Duncan and Sebelius along with Domestic Policy
Advisor Melody Barnes will deliver remarks.  In order to engage audiences
across the country, two of the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention
breakout sessions will be live chats with Facebook and iVillage.
