The campaign includes two more in-store pro-
grams. Eight statewide Educators Nights are
planned for grades K-12 teachers and staff.
They will receive free classroom materials on
anti-bias techniques for use in school settings,
and a 20 percent discount on store purchases.
Jacqueline Fox of Farmington Hills, an ADL
volunteer, will staff most of these store pro-
grams. At the events, the book Hate Hurts will
be introduced and children's authors will make
presentations. Three Educator Nights will take
place locally next month: 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 4, at the West Bloomfield B&N and at
7:30 p.m. on that same night at the Bloomfield
Township store; and 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5, at
the Livonia/Northville B&N store.
The second program, History Book Club,
scheduled 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26, at the
Rochester Hills store, will be a discussion of
Stephen Eric Bronner's book, A Rumor About the
Jews: Reflections on Anti-Semitism and the
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The
"Protocols" was an anti-Semitic document fabri-
cated by the Russian czarist secret police.
Cohen says the anti-hate campaign is impor-
tant for taking the AM's message out into the
community while underscoring its range of
resources and commitment to education — not
censorship.
The incidents of hate in our area, Cohen says,
go beyond anti-Semitism. He adds that just this
week, President Bill Clinton noted the underre-
porting of hate crimes in America because peo-
ple are afraid to report them. 'And that's besides
incidents of bias and kids being harassed,"
Cohen says, "which are all too common."
With tragedies like Columbine and other
school shootings, and closer to home, the recent
incident of anti-Semitic graffiti at a Rochester
Hills school, many parents are looking for ways
to combat prejudice, he says.
. Another program ADL is highlighting during
its campaign with B&N is "A World of
Difference," a diversity program that addresses
bias and promotes democratic ideas. The
Rochester Community Schools recently con-
tracted for this ADL program, which has serv-
iced more than 340,000 teachers nationwide
since its inception in 1985.
