New Teaching Tolerance Film Set for September Release
In September, SPLC's Teaching Tolerance program will unveil a new documentary film and teaching kit, Viva la Causa!, that focuses on one of the seminal events in the march for human rights — the grape strike and boycott led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in the 1960s. Viva la Causa! will show how thousands of people from across the nation joined in a battle for justice for the most exploited people in our country — the workers who put food on our tables.
Hatewatch: Author Jerome Corsi, notorious for his book falsely vilifying 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry, has penned an equally spurious attack on this year's presumed Democratic nominee. Corsi recently appeared on The Political Cesspool, an overtly racist, anti-Semitic radio show hosted by self-avowed white nationalist James Edwards.
The SPLC's case against the Imperial Klans of America is scheduled for trial in November in Kentucky. The trial team, led by Morris Dees, is preparing for the case.
In the new issue of the Intelligence Report, the Turkish government's costly cover-up of the Armenian genocide is explored; televangelist Arnold Murray's preaching of the "Kenites" suggests anti-Semitism; an aerospace scientist funds a racist research foundation; and a secessionist group in Vermont is meeting with the neo-Confederate League of the South.
The latest issue of Teaching Tolerance looks at the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s ideals, innovations in migrant education and classroom simulations that do harm to students.
The ABCs of Classroom Management provides strategies to help build classroom communities where students are engaged in positive ways.
