Teaching Tolerance is a website that was created by The Southern Poverty Law Center in order to help teach children and teachers about tolerance and diversity. Their self titled magazine is given to more than 400,000 educations twice a year and is also freely available online on their website. Once a year Teaching Tolerance holds a Mix It Up At Lunch Day where schools can participate in social “mixers” that help teach tolerance in diversity. The Teaching Tolerance website also offers plenty of classroom activities for teachers, such as using cartoons to teach about bullying, gay rights, and intolerance. The website also offers a multitude of resources for educators to help them become more aware of the difficulties faced by their multicultural students. Since Teaching Tolerance was created it has, “won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry's highest honor” for its teaching materials. Since being founded in 1991Teaching Tolerance has been fighting against racism and misunderstanding by teaching children and educators about the power of tolerance and respect.
