Presenters:

Session description:
Americans across the country report a rise in white nationalism and other bigoted extremism. Because schools are hubs of our communities, they have become battlegrounds for extremist organizing and recruitment sites for white nationalist groups targeting young people. This training will prepare educators to respond to extreme rhetoric—and the bigoted organizing behind it—when it makes its way into classrooms. In this webinar, we’ll share strategies to counter white nationalist organizing through sample scenarios that schools frequently encounter. Attendees will receive attendance certificates.
