SUMMARY : Designates February 2012 as No Place for Hate
(registered trademark) Month; urges that the issue of hate
crimes, and methods of preventing them, be discussed with
appropriate activities in schools during this month; and,
encourages Californians to adopt a culture of tolerance, to
accept diversity, and to embrace each other as individuals every
day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)Every person deserves the basic principles of equality and
civil rights guaranteed to all persons by the United States
Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and, it is the right of
every person to live with the expectation that he or she will
not be physically, emotionally, or psychologically abused or
intimidated.
2)Hatred and bigotry remain significant and dangerous problems
in the United States and in California; and, the State of
California can move toward the goal of eliminating hate by
enacting the Anti-Defamation League's No Place for Hate
(registered trademark) program.
3)The No Place for Hate (registered trademark) program enables
people to challenge anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, and all
forms of bigotry in their communities; and, this program seeks
to provide a model for responding to and preventing acts of
hatred by providing resources and education to California
school districts.
