'I am more than the color of my skin.' 'Gender rules don't matter.' 'Self-hate is just as dangerous as any other.' 'Where you're from shouldn't change how people treat you.' Nearly 3,300 Northeast Ohio 6-12th graders recently submitted these and other reflections on intolerance as part of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage annual Stop the Hate Youth Speak Out competition. Each student shared his or her experiences and ideas for effecting positive change in a 500-word essay. 'It's not just about students recognizing and evaluating instances of discrimination in their own lives,' explains Jeffery Allen, Maltz Museum Director of Education. 'We encourage them to recognize they have agency and a voice. We want them to see the role they can play in creating a more inclusive future.'
