How Can My
School
Become Designated
No Place for Hate®?
1. Form a committee to oversee anti-bias activities in your school.
Suggested committee members include: school faculty
and staff members, administrators, students, parents,
community leaders and youth organization leaders.
Reach out to student groups for ideas and involvement.
2. Sign the “Resolution of Respect.”
Organize a presentation of the Resolution of Respect to begin
the program. This can be done as part of a larger celebration of
diversity, during a school assembly or pep rally or through individual
classroom projects. Sign the Resolution of Respect in this guide
and display it in your school.
“
3. Choose and complete, within the year, three or more activities that celebrate diversity and promote respect.
T
he University of
California, Santa
Barbara is proud to be
an institution that has
No Place for Hate®.
We appreciate the
educational programs
that the Anti-Defamation
League has sponsored
in our residence halls
and elsewhere around
campus.”
Chancellor Henry Yang
University of California,
Santa Barbara
Projects should expose young
people to other cultures, celebrate
diversity and promote respect for
differences. Ideally, projects will help
young people put current events
into historical context, challenge
them to think critically and evoke a
sense of “community.” Projects can
be tailored to the specific needs
of each school and may include
programming by ADL’s awardwinning A WORLD OF
DIFFERENCE® Institute.
Choose from the projects listed in this guide
or be creative and design your own projects
consistent with the program’s theme.
Contact ADL for a School Request for Project Approval and the
School Project Fulfillment forms. First send the School Request
for Project Approval to ADL. When the project is complete, collect
supplemental materials (press releases, articles, photos, videos, etc.).
Return the School Project Fulfillment form along with the supplemental
materials to ADL. Upon completion of all three projects, the school
will be designated a No Place for Hate® community.
You will have the opportunity to complete another three activities
the following year for recertification.
What
Teachers and
Administrators
Can Do
Examine your own cultural biases and assumptions. Explore your
perceptions and understanding of situations by developing an
awareness of your cultural “filters.”
Integrate culturally diverse information and perspectives when
working with young people. Relegating equity issues to a special or
“multicultural” time sends a message to children that such issues are
unimportant relative to other activities in which you and the children are
involved. Explore diversity issues and incorporate multiple perspectives
on a regular basis.
Allow time for the process to develop. Introduce less complex topics
first and create time to establish trust. Develop ground rules for
discussion that allow for honest dialogue within a respectful context.
Recognize that the long history of mistrust between people in different
groups will not dissipate quickly.
Establish an environment that allows for mistakes. Since most of us
have unconsciously acquired prejudice and stereotypical thinking, we
may not be aware that certain attitudes are harmful to ourselves and to
others. Acknowledge that intolerant thinking will surface from time to
time in ourselves and in others. Model non-defensive responses when
told that something you said or did
was offensive to someone. Assume

common practice within your groups.

S
Keep learning. Keep abreast of current issues and discuss them with
children. Clip articles from newspapers and magazines and post them
in the classroom. Let children know that you consider yourself a learner
in these issues.
Avoid preaching to children about how they should behave. Research
indicates that exhortation is the least effective method for changing
prejudiced attitudes; in fact, it often produces a result opposite from
the desired effect. Encourage children to resolve conflicts, solve
problems, work in diverse teams, and learn new information about
themselves and others through interactive experiences.
Encourage empathy. Encourage children to share life experiences
and choose literature that will help them develop empathy. Make
your school or center a place where children’s experiences are not
marginalized, trivialized, or invalidated. It is not fruitful to engage in a
debate over who has suffered the most. Oppression is harmful to all
people in all of its forms.
Review resources. Review material so that displays and bulletin
boards are inclusive of all people. Ensure that books and videos you
use do not reinforce existing stereotypes. When you encounter such
examples, point them out to children and encourage a discussion
about them.
Make home-school-community connections. Involve parents, caregivers,
family members, and other members of the community in the learning
process. Understand that families and other community members
provide the context in which children learn and are
motivated to learn. Examine how you can connect
home, school, and community
with one another and the
larger world.

Responding to Bullying in School
What is the definition of bullying?
Bullying is aggressive behavior that is intentional, repeated over time, and involves an
imbalance of power or strength. A child who is being bullied has a hard time defending
himself or herself.
Bullying can take many forms such as:
Physical bullying, such as hitting or punching;
Verbal bullying, such as teasing or name-calling;
Nonverbal or emotional bullying, such as intimidating someone through gestures or
social exclusion; and
Children and youth also may be involved in cyberbullying, which occurs when
children or teens bully each other using the Internet, mobile phone or other cyber
technology. This can include:
• Sending mean text, e-mail, or instant messages;
• Posting nasty pictures or messages about others in blogs or on Web sites;
• Using someone else’s user name to spread rumors or lies about someone.
What works in bullying prevention?
There are a number of school-based bullying prevention programs. Although they
vary in size and scope, the most promising programs incorporate the following
characteristics:
• A focus on creating a school-wide environment, or climate, that discourages
bullying;
• Surveys students to assess the nature and extent of bullying behavior and attitudes
toward bullying;
• Training to prepare staff to recognize and respond to bullying;
• Development of consistent rules against bullying;
• Review and enhancement of the school’s disciplinary code related to bullying
behavior;
• Classroom activities to discuss issues related to bullying;
• Integration of bullying prevention themes across the curriculum;
• Individual and/or group work with children who have been bullied;
• Individual work with children who have bullied peers;
• Involvement of parents in bullying prevention and/or intervention activities; and
• Use of teacher or staff groups to increase staff knowledge and motivation
related to bullying.

How Can My
Community
Become Designated
No Place for Hate®?
1. Establish a No Place for Hate® Committee to oversee and
assess the needs of your institution.
Each No Place for Hate® committee provides a useful foundation
for developing infrastructures that are better equipped to handle
conflict and concerns. The community may be local government,
business, law enforcement, religious institutions or any other
community organizations.
2. Have members of your community sign and display ADL’s “Resolution of Respect.”
3. Choose and complete, within the year, three or more No Place for Hate® projects that promote respect and
understanding in your community.
Choose from the projects listed in this guide
or be creative and design your own projects
consistent with the program’s theme.
Contact ADL for the Community Request for Project Approval and
the Community Project Fulfillment forms. First send the Community
Request for Project Approval to ADL. When the project is complete,
submit the Community Project Fulfillment form to ADL.
Upon completion of all three projects, the community can
be designated a No Place for Hate® community. You will have
the opportunity to complete another three activities the following
year for recertification.
“
I
believe that No Place for Hate® has made
us more aware of the
diversity in our community
and how important it is
to provide resources like
those offered by the ADL,
which teach us to respect
each other’s differences.”
Michael Towbes

What the
COMMUNITY
Can Do
Lo Que la
COMUNIDAD
Puede Hacer
1. CHALLENGE DISCRIMINATORY ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR! Ignoring
the issues will not make them go away, and silence can send
the message that you are in agreement with such attitudes and
behaviors. Make it clear that you will not tolerate racial, ethnic,
religious or sexual jokes or slurs, or any actions that demean any
person or group. Your intervention may not always take place at the
exact time or place of the incident if to do so would jeopardize your
own or others’ safety, but it must be addressed promptly.
1. ¡LUCHE CONTRA TODA ACTITUD Y COMPORTAMIENTO DISCRIMINATIVO! El ignorar un asunto no lo hace desaparecer y mantener silencio puede mandar un mensaje de que usted está de acuerdo con dichos
comportamientos y actitudes. Haga claro el hecho de que usted
no tolerará chistes ni vocabulario racista, étnico, religioso, sexual ni
ninguna acción que degrade a cualquier persona ni grupo de personas. Su intervención puede que no ocurra en el preciso momento
en que esa acción tomó lugar si intervenir va a comprometer su
seguridad o la seguridad de otras personas alrededor. De ser así
asegúrese de confrontar la acción lo más pronto posible.
2. EXPECT TENSION OR CONFLICT AND LEARN TO MANAGE IT. Sensitive
and deep-seated issues are unlikely to change without some
struggle and in many situations, conflict is unavoidable. Face your
fears and discomforts and remember that tension and conflict can
be positive forces that foster growth.
3. BE AWARE OF YOUR OWN ATTITUDES, STEREOTYPES, AND
EXPECTATIONS. Be open to discovering the limitations they place
on your perspectives. We have all been socialized to believe many
myths and misconceptions, and none of us remain untouched
by the discriminatory messages in our society. Be honest with
yourself about your own prejudices and biases. If you do not know
something, or are not sure how to handle a situation, say so, and
seek the information or help that you need. Practice not getting
defensive when discriminatory attitudes or behaviors are pointed
out to you.
4. WORK COLLECTIVELY WITH OTHERS,
ORGANIZE AND SUPPORT EFFORTS that
combat prejudice and oppression
in all its forms. Social change is a
long-term struggle and it’s easy to
get discouraged, but together we
have the strength and vision to
make a difference.

Challenging Racism and Other Forms of
Oppression.” Reprinted with permission

2. ESPERE TENSIÓN O CONFLICTO Y APRENDA A MANEJARLO. Asuntos
sensibles y profundamente arraigados generalmente no cambian
sin un gran esfuerzo o lucha, y en muchas situaciones el conflicto
es inevitable. Enfrente su temor e incomodidad y recuerde que la
tensión y el conflicto pueden ser fuerzas positivas para fomentar el
crecimiento.
3. ESTE ALERTA DE SUS PROPIAS ACTITUDES, ESTEREOTIPOS Y EXPECTATIVAS. Esté abierto a descubrir la influencia y limitaciones que dichas
actitudes, estereotipos y expectativas tienen en su perspectiva.
Todos nosotros hemos sido socializados para creer en muchos mitos y conceptos errados y nadie permanece sin ser influenciado por
los mensajes de discriminación en nuestra sociedad. Sea honesto
con sigo mismo en cuanto a sus propios prejuicios y tendencias. Si
usted no sabe algo o no sabe cómo manejar una situación, dígalo y
busque la información y la ayuda necesaria. Trate de no ponerse a
la defensiva cuando alguien le señala a usted sus propios comportamientos y actitudes de discriminación.
4. TRABAJE EN EQUIPO, ORGANICE Y APOYE ESFUERZOS que luchen
contra el prejuicio y la opresión de cualquier tipo. El cambio social
es una lucha constante y larga y es fácil desanimarse. Juntos
tenemos la fuerza y la visión para hacer la diferencia.

Responding to
Jokes and Slurs
W hen confronting offensive humor or slurs, the A WORLD OF
DIFFERENCE® Institute’s philosophy incorporates a process that helps
people to take control of a situation. This process has proven helpful
for many people, from elementary school children to adults.
1. BEGIN THE PROCESS BY CLARIFYING FOR YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT
TO GET OUT OF THE INTERACTION. If venting your anger is your primary
goal, you may be unlikely to have a successful interaction with the
other person. Similarly, making an equally offensive remark or publicly
embarrassing the person who told the joke is not the most productive
response.
2. TRY TO ASSUME GOOD WILL. Many people who make offensive
remarks do so out of ignorance. Because they do not intend harm,
they often assume no harm is done.
3. TALK TO THE PERSON PRIVATELY. By speaking to the offender one-onone, you remove the necessity for him or her to “save face” publicly or
to defend his or her actions in front of the group.
4. START THE CONVERSATION BY “VESTING YOUR RELATIONSHIP.” People
listen better when they know they matter to the person who is
speaking. For example, start the conversation by saying something
like, “I wanted to talk with you, Mary, because your friendship is very
important to me.”
5. OWN YOUR FEELINGS. Use “I” statements, not “you” statements.
The point of this conversation is to let the “offender” know how
you feel about what was said. The
conversation will be less successful
if it focuses on what the other
person did “wrong.” Choosing
words accordingly will help
eliminate the “offender’s” need
to defend his or her actions.
KEEPING DOORS TO

Como Responder a las
Bromas Ofensivas
y A LAS Calumnias
P ara confrontar el humor ofensivo y las calumnias, El Instituto A
WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® usa una filosofía que incorpora un proceso
para ayudar a las personas a tomar control de la situación. Ha sido
comprobado que este proceso es efectivo para personas desde niños
en la escuela elemental hasta adultos.
1. EMPIECE EL PROCESO CLARIFICÁNDOSE PARA USTED MISMO, QUÉ ES
EL RESULTADO QUE DESEA DE ESTA INTERACCIÓN. Si su meta principal
es la de desahogar su enojo, probablemente usted no tendrá una
interacción exitosa con la otra persona. De la misma forma, el hacer
un comentario igualmente ofensivo a la persona que dijo la broma o
ridiculizarla en público no es la respuesta más productiva
2. TRATE DE ASUMIR BUENA INTENCIÓN. Muchas personas que hacen
comentarios ofensivos los hacen por ignorancia. Ya que ellos no tienen
la intención de hacer daño, ellos asumen que daño no ocurrirá.
3. HABLE CON LA PERSONA EN PRIVADO. Al usted hablar con la persona
que lo/la ofendió en privado, usted está eliminando la necesidad que
esa persona pueda tener de mantener su apariencia o posición en
público o de tener que justificar sus acciones frente a otros.
4. EMPIECE SU CONVERSACION INDICANDO EL VALOR QUE REPRESENTA
ESTA RELACIÓN. Las personas tienden a escuchar mejor cuando saben
que ellos son importantes para la persona que está hablando. Por
ejemplo, empiece la conversación diciendo algo como, “Yo quiero hablar
con usted María, porque su amistad es muy importante para mi.”
5. MANTENGASE DUEÑO/A DE SUS PROPIOS SENTIMIENTOS. Use “Yo”
en sus comentarios en lugar de “Usted”. La razón de tener esta
conversación es la hacerle saber a la otra persona cómo usted se
siente con respecto a lo que el/ella dijo. La conversación no será tan
exitosa si usted enfoca en lo que la otra persona hizo mal. Escogiendo
las palabras apropiadas ayudará a eliminar la necesidad del ofensor
tener que defender sus acciones.

Resolution of Respect
Resolución de Respeto
Y
I
pledge from this day forward to do my best to
combat prejudice and to stop those who, because
of hate or ignorance, would hurt people or violate
their civil rights. I will try at all times to be aware of my
own biases and seek to gain understanding of those I
perceive as being different from myself. I will speak out
against all forms of prejudice and discrimination. I will
reach out to support those who are targets of hate. I
will think about specific ways my community members
can promote respect for people and create a prejudicefree zone. I firmly believe that one person can make
a difference and that no person can be an “innocent”
bystander when it comes to opposing hate. I recognize
that respecting individual dignity, achieving equality and
promoting intergroup harmony are the responsibilities
of all people. By signing this pledge, I commit myself to
making a positive impact in my community.

Developing a
Common Language
ABLEISM is a form of discriminatory behavior,
either personal or institutional, against persons
with mental or physical disabilities.
DIVERSITY means different or varied. The
population of the United States is made up of
people from diverse races, cultures and places.
AGEISM is prejudice and/or discrimination,
either personal or institutional, against people
because of their real or perceived age.
HETEROSEXISM is prejudice and/or
discrimination, either personal or institutional,
against people who are or who are perceived
to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
ANTI-BIAS is a term used to describe
active commitment to challenging prejudice,
stereotyping and all forms of discrimination.
ANTI-SEMITISM is prejudice and/or
discrimination, either personal or institutional,
against Jews. Anti-Semitism can be based on
hatred against Jews because of their religious
beliefs, their group membership (ethnicity) and
sometimes on the erroneous belief that Jews
are a “race.”
BIAS is an inclination or preference either for
or against an individual or group that interferes
with impartial judgment.
BIGOTRY is an unreasonable or irrational
attachment to negative stereotypes and
prejudices.
CLASSISM is prejudice and/or discrimination,
either personal or institutional, against people
because of their real or perceived economic
class.
CULTURE is the patterns of daily life learned
consciously and unconsciously by a group of
people. These patterns can be seen in language,
governing practices, arts, customs, holiday
celebrations, food, religion, dating rituals, and
clothing, to name a few examples.
DISCRIMINATION is the denial of justice
and fair treatment by both individuals
and institutions in many arenas, including
employment, education, housing and political
rights. Discrimination is an action that can
follow prejudiced thinking.
HOMOPHOBIA is the irrational fear of people
who are believed to be lesbian, gay, bisexual
or transgender.
PREJUDICE is pre-judging, making a decision
about a person or group of people without sufficient knowledge. Prejudicial thinking is based
on stereotypes. Prejudice is a feeling or attitude.
RACISM is prejudice and/or discrimination,
either personal or institutional, based on the
social construction of “race.” Differences in
physical characteristics (e.g., skin color, hair
texture, eye shape) are used to support a
system of inequities.
SCAPEGOATING is the action of blaming
an individual or group for something when,
in reality, there is no one person or group
responsible for the problem. It means blaming
another person or group for problems in
society because of that person’s group identity.
Prejudicial thinking and discriminatory acts can
lead to scapegoating. Members of the disliked
group are denied employment, housing, political
rights, social privileges or a combination of
these. Scapegoating can lead to verbal and
physical violence, including death.
SEXISM is prejudice and/or discrimination,
either personal or institutional, based on gender.
STEREOTYPE is an oversimplified
generalization about a person or an entire
group of people without regard for individual
differences. Even seemingly positive stereotypes
that link a person or group to a specific positive
trait can have negative consequences.

About the
Calendar
of Observances
T he increasingly pluralistic population of the United States creates
diverse communities, student bodies and employees. To enhance
mutual understanding and respect among the various religious, ethnic
and cultural groups, the Anti-Defamation League offers this Calendar
of Observances as a tool to increase awareness and sensitivity about
religious obligations as well as ethnic and cultural festivities that may
affect students, colleagues and neighbors.
The calendar includes significant multi-faith religious observances of
the major faiths represented in the United States. Thus, it can be used
as a resource when planning school exam timetables and school activities, or when scheduling workplace festivities and community events. In
addition, the calendar notes U.S. holidays that are either legal holidays
or observed in various states and communities throughout the country.
A third component is the inclusion of important national and international social justice events that may be commemorated in the U.S.
The dates of social justice events and U.S. holidays are based on the
Gregorian calendar, which is commonly used for civil dating purposes.
Many religions and cultures follow various traditional calendar systems that are often based on the phases of the moon with occasional
adjustments for the solar cycle. Therefore, specific Gregorian calendar
dates for these observances will differ from year to year. In addition,
calculation of specific dates may vary by geographical location and according to different sects within a given religion.
Jewish and Islamic holidays begin at sundown the previous day and
end at sundown on the date listed.
