Teaching Tolerance Web Site Review --Tolerance.Org
      Tolerance.org serves as a clearinghouse of information about anti-bias programs and activities being implemented in schools across the country. It supports the efforts of K-12 teachers and other educators to promote respect for differences and appreciation of diversity. The site is in three main sections: 
      "Tolerance Watch"--to report tolerance and anti bias education news and track hate groups, web sites and music. There you can find database of daily lesson plans teaching tolerance, selection of professional development opportunities for educators on multi-cultural, equity and tolerance themes and more... 
      "Do Something"--to tell ways to fight hate, tools for tolerance, and the activities on those themes. "Respond to hate at school" is especially for school teachers, administrators and counselors. "Mix it up at lunch" is a new network challenging social boundaries in schools and communities. In "Find a human rights group," you can find ISU student organizations. 
      "Dig Deeper"--to test hidden biases, deconstruct biased language, and explore the subtle lessons lie just beneath the surface. Culturally insensitive Halloween masks are under examination right now.
