I second Judith's comments. I received free copies of the magazine for years and teachers found it helpful in teaching sensitive topics. In recent years there were articles on bullies and how to deal with them as well as diversity topics. I checked on the Intelligence Report. It is not promoting hate groups at all. In fact it states that the group offers training to law officials dealing with hate groups. Here is information from their website that you might want to share with your teachers: Monitoring Hate and Extremist Activity The Intelligence Project monitors hate groups and extremist activities throughout the U.S. and publishes the Center's award-winning Intelligence Report. It also offers training to help law enforcement officials and human rights groups combat organized racism, including an online hate crime training course for law enforcement professionals. Under the name Klanwatch, the Project began monitoring hate activity in 1981. In 1994, after uncovering links between white supremacist organizations and the emerging antigovernment "Patriot" movement, the Center expanded its monitoring operation to include militias and other extremist groups. Today, the Project tracks more than 800 hate groups around the nation. The quarterly Intelligence Report provides comprehensive updates to law enforcement agencies, the media and the general public. http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intpro.jsp Josephine Dervan, MLS -Online Instructor School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Stout dervan at optonline.net dervanj@uwstout.edu He who has a library and a garden, wants for nothing- Cicero -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
