TL;DRA proposal for a law requiring schools to appoint an officer to handle social ostracism, and to provide psychological assistance to ostracized students.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal defines "social ostracism" as the rejection or shunning of a student by at least two students, through means such as spreading false information, humiliation or mockery, that lead to their isolation. In every school an officer must be appointed from among the educational staff who will undergo dedicated training to handle the phenomenon. The minister will establish a national hotline that will provide assistance and counseling to ostracized students and their parents, and every student who is ostracized will be entitled to psychological assistance. In addition, an amendment is made to the Pupils' Rights Law of 2000 to add provisions on preventing social ostracism.
