All children have the right to a safe school environment. Children should not be subjected to discrimination, harassment, contempt, hate speech, hate crimes, or belittlement at school. That's why this brochure puts the child at the center. Despite numerous rules prohibiting inappropriate behavior, children continue to be victimized. Something is clearly amiss. Unfortunately, it often happens that schools are unable to rectify the situation. Our society tends to prioritize adults' rights over children's.
