  2. HOW TO HELP OUR STUDENTS UNDERSTAND AND PROMOTE TOLERANCE FOR A BETTER LIVING

  3. EVERY DAY • Create deterrents to disrespectful language.

  4. EVERY DAY • Set clear prohibitions against the use of racial epithets, ethnic slurs and pejorative terms relating to ability, appearance, country of origin, home language, religion, sexual orientation or social class.

  5. EVERY DAY • Establish consequences for repeated use and enforce them throughout the school.

  6. EVERY DAY • Denounce hate speech immediately. Respond every time you hear a slur or any example of bias speech, whether the speaker used it in a joking or serious manner, so that everyone knows that disrespectful speech is always unacceptable.

  7. EVERY DAY • Post reminders in your classroom about respectful speech.

  8. EVERY DAY • Discourage the use of divisive school emblems. Common examples include the Confederate flag.

  9. EVERY DAY • Help students recognize hate literature. "Warning signs" include swastikas, derogatory references to race or ethnicity, and caricatures of racial/ethnic groups.

  10. EVERY DAY • Review sensitive curricular material. Remember that some "classics" and mainstream literary works contain language, scenes and characters that may offend some students.

  11. EVERY DAY • Evaluate media messages. Be alert to music, video games and other entertainment products that demean people.

  12. EVERY DAY • Promote responsible Internet use. Adopt an Acceptable Use Policy for the Internet that addresses on-line hate and harassment.

  13. EVERY DAY • Curb taunting. Make an extra effort to detect particular patterns of derision that may be occurring at our school. Examples might include hurtful comments about body size, disabilities, sexual orientation, unfashionable or eccentric dress, use of languages other than English, and social and economic status.

  14. EVERY DAY • Be a role model. This means being constantly alert to your own attitudes and actions to ensure that you don't slip into stereotypical thinking.

  15. EVERY DAY • Don't tune out disparaging remarks. When you hear hateful words in the teacher's lounge, speak up. Silence, or even worse, laughter, suggests agreement with what was said.

  16. EVERY DAY • When a hate crime occurs in the community or a hate organization schedules an activity there, educators should look for ways to denounce the crime and discuss the event with students.
