As part of the Anti-Defamation League’s anti-bullying and anti-cyberbullying campaigns, we are proud to be designated as a No Place for Hate® school during a special banner presentation ceremony on Friday, March 25, 2016. This is the third consecutive year that DKJA has earned the No Place for Hate® designation. ADL’s No Place for Hate® campaign empowers schools to promote respect for individual and group differences while challenging prejudice and bigotry.
DKJA Claire and Emanuel G. Rosenblatt High School students took part in the ADL peer training program, equipping them as young leaders with the skills to enable conversations and conduct activities related to examining, challenging, and interrupting bias and bullying in their school. The Peer Trainers then facilitated programs for DKJA elementary and middle school students throughout the year, including Becoming An Ally: Interrupting Name Calling, a ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ week.
ADL Florida Regional Director Hava L. Holzhauer said,
“Under student leaders like Joseph Zeuner and Daniella Wirtschafter, who lead the Donna Klein Jewish Academy No Place for Hate® Club, and their Advisor and ADL Facilitator Amanda Dawes, the entire school has come together to embrace the message that we all must stand up for each other. They have set a marvelous example for the community that hate can be challenged before it even starts by peer-to-peer influence.”
The students and staff of Donna Klein Jewish Academy also released a video highlighting their work. You can see that video here.
