No Name-Calling Week Coalition Announces National Plans for Week Aimed at Ending Name-Calling and Bullying in Americas Schools
Thousands of Schools Taking Part in No Name-Calling Week
New York, NY - The No Name-Calling Week Coalition today announced local and national plans for its inaugural No Name-Calling Week project. During the week of March 1 - 5, 2004, thousands of middle schools from around the country will take part in a week of educational activities aimed at ending name-calling and verbal bullying of all kinds. To date, over 3,500 school administrators and educators from all 50 states have come on board for participation in the weeks events with hundreds more signing up each week
On the morning of Monday, March 1st, No Name-Calling Week will commence with concurrent events at the Los Angeles and New York Simon Wiesenthal Center - Museums of Tolerance. At both events, students from local middle schools will participate in a facilitated lesson plan about name-calling and experience relevant exhibits of the museum. The students will also have an opportunity to interact with their peers on the opposite coast about their experiences when the dual events are video-conferenced at the end of the New York session
Individual schools, local school districts and statewide organizations are setting up various events throughout the week. In Trenton, New Jerseys Attorney General will hold a press conference to kick-off New Jersey Cares About Bullying as part of their No Name-Calling Week. The Minneapolis county health department will conduct a school climate forum for educators and students that focuses on bullying. Events are also being held in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Washington, DC and throughout the nation
No Name-Calling Week seeks to generate national attention to the problem of name-calling in schools and to provide students and educators with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their communities. The project was inspired by The Misfits, a book written by popular author James Howe and published by Simon & Schuster Childrens Publishing
A resource guide with lesson plans, a video for classroom use and other promotional materials are available to educators to assist in facilitating the weeks activities at www.NoNameCallingWeek.org.

The project is aimed at stopping name-calling and verbal bullying of all kinds in our nations schools. No it's not. Check out their web site. It's got gay and lesbian written all over it. The sticker link is to a gay web site.
If the public schools were doing what they were designed to do, a no name-calling week would be unnecessary.

National Brotherhood Week by Tom Lehrer
Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.
But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.
Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.
But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.
Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.
But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

Seems that GLSEN never ceases to invent new programs that will allow them access to public school kids.

If I didn't read another story with GLSEN in it, I wouldn't know what it is. I knew there had to be something to this.

So, basically, it's another attempt at
"We're going to behave in whatever manner we want to, you cannot judge or deride us, and what's more, you will pay to alleviate the consequences of our behaviors."
Typical leftists.
