The relatively recent development of the anti-bullying campaign has been almost universally accepted as something that is unquestionably "good." These campaigns are politically correct, they are focused on kids (a largely unhateable group), and they are relatively easy to get behind for most people, (with the exception of some religious groups) particularly those who consider themselves to be open-minded, liberal folks.
