VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has warned that bullying in schools prepares students for war rather than peace. Francis made the remarks in a speech on Saturday. The pontiff spoke to about 2,000 Italian teachers, educators and parents. Francis stressed his message against bullying and asked the audience to pledge to figh against it both at school and at home. The pontiff praised educational efforts at schools to promote peace. But he said that if children engage in bullying at school they are “preparing for war.”
