We witness bullying. All of us are humbled by the virus, how systemic its become. How do you get your hands around that . For me its top down and bottom up. We are Authority Figures and what we do for our children and thats care, but we need to empower them to become the leaders they are waiting to become. This notion of Youth Adult Partnership is esoteric in its term but on the ground how do you operationalize it, those things in the Public School who are working so hard to meet the required ma...

One reach one, we have trained over 40 kids in the first year, a couple hundred young people at each school and they intervene at a minimum of two times a week.

We have talked about policy, legal, now you hear about organizations doing boots on the ground and doing work in their communities. Michael, you said something interesting, that family can sometimes not be a positive influence. Lets get micro, what influences do you draw upon, what influenced you to become an antibias aspect, personal or family, aspects of your own cult...

Operationalize it, those things in the Public School who are working so hard to meet the required mandates. Schools are driven by mandates, academic achievement, achievement, enrollment. But the conditions in which the virus grows, if you follow the metaphor that bullying is a systemic virus, then the environment has to change so the virus cannot grow and the only way the environment changes is if youth and adults begin to speak with one voice about changing the social norms that allows it to ha...
