Oak Hill Middle School students participated in the third activity of the year in the 'No Place for Hate' program that is being implemented this school year. They learned about identity-based bullying and how to be an ally. After the lesson, students made videos to show their support of being an ally.
No Place for Hate (NPFH) is a holistic, school-wide co-curricular equity team strategy from the Anti-Defamation League that has been in use in schools for almost four decades. No Place for Hate involves students, families, and the community to build cultural competency. The strategy is a collaboration between students, teachers, and experts intended to help people in schools and communities understand bias and combat its negative effects. Through thoughtful and appropriate programs of study and discussion, No Place for Hate recognizes the value of diversity in our society and develops strategies for all stakeholders to communicate effectively across our unique differences. The aim of the program is to help create a more equitable and just society.
