WHEREAS, ADL members continue today to engage in antibias
programs designed for schools, workplaces, college campuses and
communities; and
WHEREAS, A major initiative of ADL has been the No Place for
Hate program in schools and communities to curb intolerance,
bias and bullying by promoting respect for differences; and
WHEREAS, No Place for Hate projects in communities and
schools in this Commonwealth have taken the form of candlelight
vigils, surveys in middle schools and high schools, teacher and
student training, panel discussions on bullying, mural projects,
- 1 -
rapid response teams, marches, speeches and talent shows where
performers have presented original pieces based on the No Place
for Hate theme; and
WHEREAS, While its work is far from done, ADL has every
reason to be proud of its outstanding contributions to the
understanding and tolerance that exist today in American society
and especially its well-received No Place for Hate program;
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate recognize the week of October 4
through 8, 2010, as "No Place for Hate Week" in Pennsylvania and
commend the Anti-Defamation League for its outstanding efforts
to promote peace, brotherhood and goodwill through its "No Place
for Hate" program.
