Many students learn about the Holocaust, when Jews and others were forced to wear symbols identifying them for extermination. The pink triangle, however, is something new for many people. A guest speaker can help show the significance of symbol while giving a face to gay “category.”
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
