Description
Recent media reports have revealed dramatic increases in bias-based bullying. Bias-based bullying and cyberbullying involves, or occurs within, the context of bias or prejudice. Examples include bullying focused on a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity, religion, ethnicity, gender, or race. This presentation reports data on 1,272 subjects gathered between 2014 and 2017, and how we have translated these findings into programs for use with children in K-12 schools.
