Challenging Bias and Hate in Schools: Insights from an Anti-Defamation League Associate Director of Education In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry interviews Rachel Sato, an associate director of education with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Sato shares how ADL works to implement school-wide discussion-based and active learning activities that examine identities, reflect on biased behavior, and learn new ways to challenge bias and bullying in students, staff, and society. The organization supports religious freedom, immigrant and refugee groups, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, gender equity, and other civil rights issues. Sato emphasizes the need to address bias language from students, especially if it's race-based discrimination, and to be specific in talking about the historical harm that certain words and phrases cause.
