Korean Court Rules that Forcing Bullies to Apologize to Victims is Constitutional
I wonder what would happen in the U.S. if a law like this was ever passed?:
The Constitutional Court has ruled that the school violence prevention law mandating a school bully’s apology to the victim and other countermeasures is constitutional, officials said Tuesday.
The court made the decision 6-3, rejecting a middle school student’s petition claiming that the anti-school violence law infringes upon the freedom of conscience and personality rights by forcing an apology to a victim of school bullying.
Under the school violence prevention act, bullies can be ordered to make a written apology to victims, banned from contacting, threatening or retaliating against victims, and be ordered to transfer classes.
The student filed the petition for a review of the law’s constitutionality after being punished for school violence in 2017 with orders to make a written apology to the victim, move to a different class and not to contact the victim.

Forcing retards and bullies to apologize is a useless law. What’s the point when the perps are not even sorry and have no intentions of being contrite? That would be like forcing Japan to apologize. It’s not gonna be any benefit to the victims, knowing that the perps were just forced to apologize. Instead, the most effective method to combat school bullying is an one-strike-and-your-out law. If you’re found guilty of school bullying, you are prevented from taking entrance exams to enter first-tier universities and a credit score that will make it a no chance to apply for bank mortgages or loans later in life.
