If there's one thing I'm sure all teachers and school officials across the state can agree on, it's that they're just not worked hard enough and paid way too much these days. (where's the sarcasm button?)

Which is why it makes total sense that legislators in Tallahassee would file a bill requiring school officials across the state to monitor their students online activities inside and out of school to prevent the biggest threat to our children today, CYBERBULLYING!

According to the Tampa Bay Times, the bill would require school officials to investigate reported incidents including the ones that originate after school and off campus.

This is so painfully dumb, it's hard to even pick where to begin.

Children are prime fodder when it comes to politicians addressing the big headline issues of the day, so it makes sense that, even if not passed, the guys who created it look will look like caring, nice politicians when it's all over.  Fine.

But, come on, a millisecond of thought will make you go, "wait, shouldn't the parents do that?"  You can't tell me these guys - grown, by all accounts, smart and powerful adults - didn't consider this when they drafted this bill.

Adam Carolla, comedian and co-host of the late Man Show, has a common, two-choice question when it comes to issues like this that really encapsulates the whole thing perfectly, "Stupid or liar?"

Either these legislators, including our own Mike Fasano of New Port Richey, are really just stupid enough to think asking school workers to essentially police their students 24/7 is a completely reasonable (and surely constitutional) request or they're liars.

Liars who completely realize that responsibility shifts from school to parents once the final bell rings every day, but don't really care because this makes them look good - not be good, mind you, just appear like it.

Cyberbulllying is an issue, depressingly evident by the fact that a 16-year old Pasco girl hung herself as a result back in December. But, it's not a teacher or school official's place to correct this.

Whoever created this bill knows very well its on the parents if their kids turn out to be online hellraisers who drive someone to suicide or the victim of one(s).

But, they'll never admit this because they also know, unfortunately, that personal responsibility just doesn't win votes like it used to.
