Standing
up to bullies and against bigotry is never easy – particularly for young
people. This is why ADL’s No Place for Hate® initiative empowers the whole
school community – teachers and students, administrators and parents – to
tackle prejudice, bullying and intergroup conflict.
The No
Place for Hate® initiative provides educators and students with the resources
to ensure that anti-bias and diversity education are an integral part of the
school curriculum. No Place for Hate® also
helps to create and sustain inclusive school environments where all students
feel valued and have the opportunity to succeed by promoting respect for
individual difference while challenging bigotry and prejudice. Launched in Austin schools in the fall of
2004, the popular initiative has been embraced by hundreds of campuses throughout
the Central Texas region.
To earn
the designation schools commit to creating a student led coalition, signing the
Resolution of Respect, and hosting at least three anti-bias and diversity
related activities throughout the year.
We at Barton
Hills Elementary are proud to say that we are a No Place for Hate campus. This
program, led by the 6th grade No Place for Hate Coalition, promotes
diversity, kindness, and fairness to all students.
Resolution of Respect
- I promise to do my best to treat everyone fairly.
- I promise to do my best to be kind to everyone - even if
they are not like me. - If I see someone being hurt or bullied I will report it to
- an adult.
- Everyone should be able to f eel safe and happy at school.
I want our school to be No Place for Hate®.
