So, Lady Gaga wants to make bullying a hate crime. What's the best way to make sure that DOESN'T happen?

She made a video in response to a bulying victim, where she makes this quote:

It is important that we push the boundaries of love and acceptance; it is important that we spread tolerance and equality for all students. In light of the recent suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, because of the bullying that he experienced in school, I am going to be working as hard as I can to make bullying a hate crime.

Spread love and tolerance... by putting all those evil bullies in jail. Does anyone else think this is a little scary? She has a lot of money and an iron will. Bullying is a societal problem, and obviously should be handled somehow, but I see this heading towards a War on Bullying that's going to consume us for a long time.
