Today was the "touching safety" class in religious education

Since my particular religion had a major scandal about authority figures molesting children, all the religious education classes (well, from kindergarten on up) have to have a section on child safety. Today was the one for kindergarten and first grade.

They did a pretty good job on it, although it turned into a discussion on bullying. Emily is still being bullied by one boy in her class at school. I am glad that T and I learned that, because we had thought that it was in the past. The teacher is doing things to separate that boy from Emily (and the other kids in the class). I feel sorry for him, but he has to learn to keep his hands and other body parts to himself and not use them to hurt other kids. I wonder if the teacher needs some more ideas how to turn him from the dark side (I don't know any, but there have to be some somewhere, right?).
