Teen Citizens & Consumers: Speak Up!
A guide to combating intolerance
In Our Schools
Hold assemblies and school discussions on diversity and tolerance.
Address current events that deal with hate and bigotry. Discuss these topics in the open. Do not ignore them.

Students must be taught about the circumstances that brought about these atrocities for, as we recently witnessed in the former Czechoslovakia, those that don't learn from history are destined to repeat it.
