Prejudice
is learned. So is
acceptance. Here are
some tips for getting
the issue of tolerance
out on the
table:
- Hold
many brief
conversations instead
of one long lecture.
This will show your
child that they can
bring up the subject
for discussion at any
time.
- Don't
be wishy-washy.
Children are far more
likely to pay
attention when you
talk specifically and
answer their
questions
directly.
- Don't
worry if you don't
have all the answers.
Lack of knowledge can
provide a golden
opportunity to go to
the library or go
on-line to find out
more.
- Don't
tolerate prejudicial
language or humor.
"Reply to All" when
you receive
prejudicial jokes via
email and state the
negative impact they
have on you. Ask not
to receive them
anymore.
- Use
television and books
as tools to explore
prejudice and
stereotyping.

University of
Michigan launches $16,000 Inclusive Language
Campaign
The University of Michigan hopes its students will stop
saying certain words and phrases that could be considered
offensive.
"Such as: Illegal alien, ghetto and
gypped," one Fox News anchor said.
Several derogatory words referring to
a person's race or religion are on the list. Certain phrases
are also discouraged, like "That test raped me."
It has launched a $16,000 Inclusive
Language Campaign, or ILC.
As noted by the university, "The ILC
raises awareness about the power of words, why certain
language can be hurtful to others, and how to be more
inclusive in how we speak and act as members of the Michigan
campus community."
The College Fix chatted with a
university spokesperson who said the program isn't
regulatory, but educational -- which is pretty obvious
point, considering America's "freedom of speech" amendment
in the Constitution.
Regardless, it seems to be an
important move for the university's image.
One example of some negative press: In
October 2013, the university's chapter of the Theta Xi
fraternity made headlines for a planned, then canceled
"ratchet" themed party.
Note that ratchet is likely also
looked down upon. The College Fix says students frequently
hand out posters, some asking: "If you knew that I grew up
in poverty, would you still call things 'ghetto' and
'ratchet'?"
It's not clear how the university
financed the $16,000 campaign, but we do know the university
has raised tuition rates for the past two consecutive
years.
The University of Maryland also
started a similar program in 2012.
