Learning to Counter Hate Speech
Cyberbullying can range from viral videos to direct text messages and has become a popular and necessary discussion point in classrooms nationwide. Author Devorah Heitner provides some guidance for teachers looking to respond to hate speech and bullying, particularly in the wake of a difficult election cycle. She says school leaders, including teachers, need to promote discussion, remain compassionate toward those creating the hate speech without condoning it, and remain cautious about our own participation in the online dialogue (Heitner, Education Week).
