It's a program that teaches young people to eschew hate and adopt respect. And yes, it's sponsored by GLSEN, (gay, lesbian, & straight education network). But who would know better about name-calling?
More: No Name Calling Week, now in its third year, officially kicks off in schools nationwide January 23 – 27. The project, aimed at grades five through eight, seeks to draw national attention to the problem of name-calling in America’s schools and to provide students and educators with tools to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their communities. With nearly 6000 educators and administrators having registered to take part, this year’s event should have even greater participation. Results from 2004 bullying surveys in schools indicated that students reported a significant decrease in the amount of bullying and harassment in school after taking part in the first No Name-Calling Week and its activities.

Well, I guess that's not true.
More accurately, loonitarian will have less to whine about? |

If I took part in this week of no name calling I would feel bad for anybody who saw me on the 28th. |

Can someone with a kid in Columbia High tell me privately or on this board if anything organized is going on there regarding "No Name-Calling Week"? |
