Teacher response to Holocaust Center's editorial in the Seattle Times

We received an overwhelming amount of support for our September 17th editorial in the Seattle Times. One of the teachers who uses our resources in her classroom wrote:

This was a very well written editorial. I shared this with my classes as it ties in well with every unit we are doing...We had Carl Wilkins here Monday, we are watching a Rosa Parks video from the teaching tolerance program and we are reading novels which have some issues of segregation and hate-crimes. The students are disappointed to hear these things happening around us but they are becoming proactive by voicing their concerns in our school as well when they see actions of bullying or hatred. Thank you for sending me the article to share and also for sending the message that Hatred is not supported or tolerated. Have a wonderful day.

-Teacher, Reardan-Edwall Junior High
