HATE AND YOUNG PEOPLE

A statement I share in many of my lectures dealing with communication and hate comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2004:
"More than in generations past, young Americans are being taught to accept differences and embrace diversity. But . . . there's a disturbing counter-trend: Hate activity among kids has probably never been more widespread, or more violent."
What are high schools and colleges doing to teach about hate? What should they be doing? Your comments are welcome.

The Southern Poverty Law Center makes available great material through its Teaching Tolerance program. For more information, visit the SPLC web site.
