It is my distinct honor to welcome Lauren Huston, an in-demand guest/ghost blogger to Play.Eat.Love – Motherhood Explored. I’m sure you’ll be as impressed by her credentials as I am. When Lauren presented to me the idea that Rudolph was bullied, I simply couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it before. Her reflection on the subject is astute and very timely with the recent focus on bullying in American schools. Since Lauren brought Rudolph to my attention, I have seen articles noting episodes of bullying in Charlie Brown and The Wizard of Oz. Chime in and let us know what you think!
