New Name
Why did the name change from Teaching Tolerance to Learning for Justice?
Throughout our program’s history, we’ve received feedback from people who felt the word “tolerance” fell short and that our aims should be higher. Our typical response has been to offer UNESCO's more inclusive definition: “Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. Tolerance is harmony in difference.” As our mission and work matured, even that broader definition of the word “tolerance” no longer fit what our program was about. We started out with a focus on reducing prejudice, but our focus has expanded into the realm of social action to address injustice. As our director Jalaya Liles Dunn phrased it in our final issue of Teaching Tolerance magazine before changing the title, “In shifting from Teaching Tolerance to Learning for Justice, we’re offering an urgent call to action: We must learn, grow and wield power together. That’s how we will make justice real in our lives and in the lives of the students, families, educators and communities we serve.”
