Student hazing and bullying have become endemic and intractable problems with often tragic outcomes. Headlines of abuse are becoming common with details of students inflicting egregious physical and emotional harm on other students. Hazing can include brutal physical acts, sexual assaults, mandatory binge drinking, forced calisthenics and other harmful conduct. Bullying, on the other hand, is any unwanted physical, verbal or other aggressive behavior by one student directed at another. While hazing is typically used to gain membership in a group, bullying uses tactics to exclude the victim.

In the wake of Memorial Day weekend, I got to thinking about our LGBTQ members of the armed services. For 17 years, Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) forcibly closeted tens of thousands of military service men and women. Originally designed as a compromise between lawmakers and military personnel who wanted the ban on LGBTQ service members lifted and those who didn't, the reality of DADT encouraged an environment where discrimination and prejudice festered, and those most hurt by it had no recourse because they faced dishonorable discharge. Over the lifespan of DADT, more than 14,000 service members were given discharges due to their sexual orientation. The Sept. 20, 2011, repeal of DADT, however, lifted that albatross from the necks of our LGBTQ service members, allowing them to live authentically both in and out of uniform. Now we have a military that accepts any qualified person willing to serve and with the daily reminder of the dangers at our country's doorstep, better late than never.
