It has been a dramatic summer and will continue to be a dramatic election year, providing for a myriad of teachable moments for families and educators to engage with their children and students. The Anti-Defamation League is prepared to assist with valuable resources for many of these challenging but important discussions that we will have with our students now and in the months ahead.
