Hate at School: October 2018

For far too many students, Thanksgiving stories and celebrations serve as their first introduction to the histories and cultures of American Indians. The resources in this edition of The Moment offer the opportunity to teach a more accurate story about the origins of Thanksgiving.
No matter the grade or the subject you teach, media literacy is a skill your students need. These resources from Teaching Tolerance—including our new podcast, The Mind Online—can support you and your students this Media Literacy Week and in the months to come.
Even if your students are too young to vote, there are plenty of ways they can get involved in the last few days of this year's election season. Try sharing our Voting and Voices pledge and Story Corner video to encourage them to talk with their families about voting. Or check out our Voting and Voices classroom resources for ready-to-use lessons, texts and activities that can get students of all ages excited about Tuesday's elections!
