Things. I wanted to back up a little tiny bit. When luslyn talked this morning she talked about our society not only tolerating but sometimes promoting it. One example is immigrants that has been widely out there in the last few years really increasing along with the kinds of things that amina talked about, very antiimmigrant messages coming out in the media. In new york, you probably remember this, some of you, in 2008 High School Students were going out on a weekly basis beating up immigrants that they thought were supposedly undocumented immigrants. The students all knew about this but the adults didnt. It results in a hate crime, a murder. A couple things i wanted to bring up. What does it take to unseat bias . First of all, we have to look at all the places that people are getting that violence, those attitudes, and have dialogue about it. Just like amina said, we need to be getting to know each other. Some researchers back in the 40s came up with 4 important things to address pre
Resonated with me that tom said, if you simply tolerate diversity you are aspiring to mediocrity. Can you talk about the ambassadors, adults taking an active role to intervene when we witness bullying. All of us are humbled by the virus, how systemic its become. How do you get your hands around that . For me its top down and bottom up. We are Authority Figures and what we do for our children and thats care, but we need to empower them to become the leaders they are waiting to become. This notion of Youth Adult Partnership is esoteric in its term but on the ground how do you operationalize it, those things in the Public School who are working so hard to meet the required mandates. Schools are driven by mandates, academic achievement, achievement, enrollment. But the conditions in which the virus grows, if you follow the metaphor that bullying is a systemic virus, then the environment has to change so the virus cannot grow and the only way the environment changes is if youth and adults b
Bias or theres an assumption in sports that its a homophobic industry, its almost like that man bites dog, people look up and say, wait a minute, thats not the way to do things. We have talked about policy, legal, now you hear about organizations doing boots on the ground and doing work in their communities. Michael, you said something interesting, that family can sometimes not be a positive influence. Lets get micro, what influences do you draw upon, what influenced you to become an antibias aspect, personal or family, aspects of your own cultural identity . Okay, being the eldest of three and a vietnamese family is very difficult. Throw in being gay, it makes it a lot more stressful. And throw in being clinically labeled as obese at age 13, you have a recipe for bullying and discrimination all over. So that was me. And it was hard and it wasnt until someone took a chance on me and mr. Burket saved my life. There are moments where ive been in the shoes where my youth have been. If it

Working so hard to meet the required mandates. Schools are driven by mandates, academic achievement, achievement, enrollment. But the conditions in which the virus grows, if you follow the metaphor that bullying is a systemic virus, then the environment has to change so the virus cannot grow and the only way the environment changes is if youth and adults begin to speak with one voice about changing the social norms that allows it to happen. It makes sense to most of us, you have it khaifrpb the social norms. We must educate. But we must go beyond thinking more rigor will get us better achievement. We have to remember a school is a community and in a xhuept, people look out for each other. Theyve got each others back. How do we begin to promote that idea that we are in this thing together . We believe its through, unfortunately but truly, selfinterest. Kids are driven developmentally by the desire to fit in, to belong, to be part of an affinity group. If we can capitalize on their desir
