Here's an important update for those who have been following the story of the bullying letters that started arriving in bulk at Education Minister Bunmei Ibuki's office late last year. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe decided to step up to the plate by encouraging the minister to institute a policy whereby school bullies would be suspended. Half the nation thinks it's a great idea, the other half thinks it's stupid and will perpetuate backlash.
But the final word on this policy will be determined after Ryoji Noyori, the Nobel Prize-winning leader of Japan's Education Rebuilding Council, presents his proposals and emergency measures on how to not have bullied kids committing suicide left and right in 2007.
