- Summary:
- Combating Hatred provides several practical case studies of teachers, administrators, and school board members who have successfully combated intolerance, prejudice, and hatred in their schools.
- Each chapter contains a scholar-practitioner section that narrows the gap between theory and practice. The case studies illuminate important person-centered educational theories, especially those of John Dewey and his progressive successors, which can help all educators combat intolerance, prejudice, and hatred before the victims turn to uncontrollable violence.
