If belief indoctrination is of concern … local parent groups [should be] convened to find solutions that work at the local level

This point is a bit vague, though, and seems to bypass the issue. Aren’t anti-bullying programs by definition a sort of indoctrination? It’s just a question of whether or not it’s the sort of which people approve. If parents feel it’s appropriate to insult, threaten or assault gay persons — or disapprove of such behavior but are too ill-disposed to homosexuality to speak against it — then any program combatting anti-gay bullying will fail to pass muster. Given the outcry against school library books that portray gay persons and families in a positive light, I don’t see how this conflict can be resolved to general satisfaction.

Form only becomes a problem when those in authority do not recognize that the more benign forms such as name calling should not be tolerated because it may be a precursor to something worse.
