One of the best resources I have had for It's OK to be Different is Teaching Tolerance, published by The Southern Poverty Law Center. There are lessons suggested by teachers of all grade levels, articles about current issues in education, resource lists of new literature promoting respect for differences in your classroom and, the magazine is FREE! It is published 4 times a year and I devour every issue for information and ideas. From the latest magazine, I took this quote from Alice Walker:
"I think we have to own the fears that we have for each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to."
