   Attorney General Loretta Lynch urged Muslim parents to contact   
   both the justice department and the education department if they   
   think their children are being “bullied” in school.   
      
   “We’ve seen this for a number of years, we saw it a lot in the   
   New York area [after 9/11], unfortunately, where there would be   
   a backlash against the Muslim community in general,” she claimed   
   at a Thursday fundraiser dinner for an Islamic advocacy group,   
   Muslim Advocates.   
      
   In response to Lynch’s address, conservative host Rush Limbaugh   
   said on his radio show Friday:   
      
   Don’t bother with the principal! You know, education’s a local   
   thing. But now all of a sudden, if your child is bullied and you   
   are a Muslim, you are to call the Department of Justice in   
   Washington and ask for the attorney general…   
      
   Now, if you happen to be Jewish and your kids are bullied, don’t   
   bother calling. If you happen to be Christian, if you happen to   
   be Hindu, if you happen to be Tutsi or Hutu or whatever, don’t   
   bother calling. If your kids are bullied, that doesn’t matter.   
   Only Muslims are permitted to call…   
      
   “Here is the attorney general claiming, promising to prosecute   
   anybody who engages in anti-Muslim speech,” Limbaugh said.   
      
   Lynch said both the federal agencies “provide guidance to   
   schools on how to handle situations where students come to them   
   and they feel bullied.”   
      
   The attorney general added that their children may not have the   
   “tools” to argue back or talk back when challenged, presumably   
   by American kids.   
      
   “So we are very, very active in that front as well,” Lynch said.   
   “And so what I would urge people to do if you are aware of   
   situations where children are involved, please contact the   
   Department of Justice and the Department of Education.”   
      
   The education department defines “bullying” very broadly,   
   justifying federal intervention in many schoolyard disputes or   
   political arguments among teenagers.   
      
   “Bullying is defined as a form of unwanted, aggressive behavior   
   among school-age children that involves a real or perceived   
   power imbalance and that is repeated, or has the potential to be   
   repeated, over time…  Verbal bullying is a form of intentional   
   aggression that involves saying or writing things that are mean   
   or hurtful to others.”   
      
   “We can provide guidance, we can have conversations,” Lynch   
   continued at the fundraiser. “Everything need not result in a   
   lawsuit, but some things do have to go to that…area…we have an   
   important, important role to play. So, please, please, think of   
   us there.”
