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 wasnt for mr. Burket, i wouldnt be here and i woul ....

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 beg ....

One reach one, we have trained over 40 kids in the first year, a couple hundred young people at each school and they intervene at a minimum of two times a week. When you have the leaders of different cliques beginning to raise their voices, raise their courage because they are always bystanders, we are beginning to change social norms that makes it cool to be cruel and makes it more likely for kids to be cruel to be kind. Thats the job we have to do more than anything else and it will take our courage and their courage to make that happen. The good news is we have done Research Studies and we have evidence, as we move the slides forward and you have it if you go to our web site, that it works. When you begin to create a social Tipping Point by educating young people to raise their voice and giving them a tool so they feel more competent to do it, they will naturally do it. I ....

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 desire to look out for their friends and give them some more tools and opportunities and support, they will begin to do what we need them to do to at least confront it in their own small cell of social influence and the compounding and leveraging of that begins to make change ....

Also have an art contest, imagine peace where we honor kids at a ballgame later in the year just so kids can interpret and show their form of how they interpret antibullying and peace in this society. You know, its not perfect, it doesnt always work. I think sometimes people tune us out. But we feel strongly that with the partnerships that we have in the community we can make an impact and i think theres a 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.
