for Parents and Schools Regarding 9/11
Within
48 hours of the attack on America, the National
Association of
School Psychologists drafted a series of suggested
discussion points
regarding tolerance and the importance of not
assigning blame or
focusing anger on religious or ethnic groups.
It was a powerful and
patriotic message delivered repeatedly by responsible
commentators and
leaders, including President Bush, in the days
following September 11.
In March, NASP updated this document to discuss
teaching tolerance in the general context of crisis.
The original document is listed above with the
updated links below.
