8 | and all forms of bigotry and discrimination; and |
9 | WHEREAS, ADL members continue today to engage in antibias |
10 | programs designed for schools, workplaces, college campuses and |
11 | communities; and |
12 | WHEREAS, A major initiative of the ADL has been the No Place |
13 | for Hate program in schools and communities to curb intolerance, |
14 | bias and bullying by promoting respect for differences; and |
15 | WHEREAS, No Place for Hate projects in communities and |
16 | schools in this Commonwealth have taken the form of candlelight |
17 | vigils, surveys in middle schools and high schools, teacher and |
18 | student training, panel discussions on bullying, mural projects, |
|
1 | rapid response teams, marches, speeches and talent shows where |
2 | performers have presented original pieces based on the No Place |
3 | for Hate theme; and |
4 | WHEREAS, While its work is far from done, ADL has every |
5 | reason to be proud of its outstanding contributions to the |
6 | understanding and tolerance that exist today in American society |
7 | and especially its well-received No Place for Hate program; |
8 | therefore be it |
9 | RESOLVED, That the Senate recognize the week of October 24 |
10 | through 28, 2011, as "No Place for Hate Week" in Pennsylvania |
11 | and commend the Anti-Defamation League for its outstanding |
