SAN ANTONIO – Texas Sen. José Menéndez of San Antonio is looking to expand on a law named after an Alamo Heights student who took his life after being cyberbullied in 2016.
David’s Law, which was named after David Molak, was passed into law in 2017 with the help of the District 26 senator.
“What we learned during the passage of David’s Law is that many of the kids who were exposed to bullying, they didn’t know what to do or who to turn to,” Menéndez said.

The final report of an investigation into workplace problems at the Canadian Museum of History is now in the hands of federal Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault.
In a statement released today, the museum, located in Gatineau, QC across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill, said Flaherty’s report–along with a single recommendation by the board of trustees–had been forwarded to Minister of Canadian Heritage Steven Guilbeault.
“We will take all necessary steps to ensure we have the best processes and policies in place to ensure a safe, inclusive and diverse workplace where our employees can grow and thrive,” the statement read.
He said he hoped the changes would help build trust and he praised the changes already, noting the council had only gone into confidential session eight times since the new council was elected in March last year. Cr Law is set to take a place on the review steering committee, alongside Cr Suarez, Mayor Mark Jamieson, CEO Emma Thomas or one of her representatives and three external representatives to be appointed. Cr Joe Natoli praised Cr Suarez s efforts and said she had made the point from the very beginning of her tenure, as he said he welcomed the review. Deputy Mayor Rick Baberowski also spoke in support, but clarified whether the review would cover issues he d raised in November, 2019.
But it says national museums are expected to hold the highest standards of respect, healthy working relationships and inclusion, and that the federal government has zero tolerance for harassment in the workplace.
The museum’s CEO Mark O Neill has been on a medical leave since last summer when the investigation began.
His lawyer David Law says O’Neill has been completely co-operative with the process and would not comment on the report or allegations about O Neill s conduct.
The Gatineau, Que., museum’s board of trustees says the matter is now in the hands of Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault and that it is fully committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive and diverse workplace.
