** Survey: How Is Your District Supporting You?
------------------------------------------------------------
As we all settle into an unprecedented school year, we here at Teaching Tolerance want to make sure we’re providing the best possible resources for educators grappling with the unique needs of this moment. Please take this survey ([link removed]) and let us know how your school district is supporting you, your students and their families and caregivers. We’ll use your feedback to determine which resources we can develop to best support our community over the coming year.

** Sounds Like Hate Podcast: Confronting Racism at School
------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds Like Hate—a new podcast from our colleagues in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project—is about the dangers and peril of everyday people who engage in extremism and the ways to disengage them from a life of hatred. The podcast dedicates two episodes to exploring how one Vermont high school is grappling with questions about flying a Black Lives Matter flag and removing a mascot some say bears a disturbing resemblance to a hooded Klansman.
