Rutgers Student's Death Emphasizes The Need To Teach Tolerance in Schools

The death of an 18 year old freshmen at Rutgers is a reminder of our responsibility to fight against intolerance in our schools. It is uncertain at this point what the consequences will be for the individuals responsible for the prank. My take is school is for social learning. If we had a better balance in the academic setting to teach students tolerance, along with academics, we can reduce the amount of bullying within our society.
