Anti-Defamation League training students in anti-bias

been large amounts of staff involvement. The ABC advisor, AP Literature and English teacher Rama Kadri, has also been involved in the planning and training for the ADL.

“I am very worried that [the training] will [not] happen next year because we had that gap with online learning [which] did [not] recruit a lot of people [who] were underclassmen,” Morales said. “Having the training that affects lots of students on campus, the burden of organizing the event has been put on the officers of the Anti-Bias Club.” Morales said. “I do wish that admin[istration] was a little more hands on with the process just because it [is] a lot [of work].”

Morales’ current concerns are that the ADL program will be phased out after she graduates.

“[The training] is a lot of work for one person so I do [not] blame anyone for not wanting to take this on,” Morales said.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) came to SPHS on Tuesday and Wednesday Nov. 15 and 16 as a part of their anti-bias training for high school students. The ADL provides training for recognizing and communicating biases with others.

The ADL trained students for two days from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the school library. The organization sent two people to train the highschoolers and to teach them about different types of biases. Their training is simple for students to learn. Their training did a deep dive into the complexities of people’s internal and external biases.
