\u201cHuman rights education is essential,\u201d says United for Human Rights Coordinator Emma Sims.<\/p>\n
A recent article in the Washington Post<\/em><\/a> found nearly 200 incidents of suicides by children bullied at school. \u201cParents whose bullied children end their lives are seeking to hold schools accountable. More and more are filing suit… \u2018It\u2019s a wake-up call to schools around the country that unless you protect our children, you will be in the same position\u2019\u201d said an attorney representing one of these families.<\/p>\n \u201cThere could be no more important issue than to guarantee the safety of our children at school,\u201d says Sims. \u201cWhen youth learn their rights as laid out by the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, they realize that bullying isn\u2019t just a personal problem. It\u2019s a violation of their rights. We know of many instances where youth who have completed this curriculum take responsibility for the safety of their classmates. Those who would earlier simply stand by and watch while their classmates are bullied take action personally or alert their teachers or school resource officers to get help with what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n \u201cBut educators or administrators are often balked by budget cuts or simply lack the time to design a compelling curriculum that will get through to kids about human rights and their importance.\u201d<\/p>\n This was a key reason United for Human Rights organized a booth at NSBA24 \u2014 to inform school board members that the United for Human Rights educator package is available to them free of charge. Included in the package:<\/p>\n \u201cBullying and discrimination are a brutal fact of life in our schools. When young people are educated on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, they realize these antisocial behaviors are not simply something that is an inevitable fact of life. UHR is motivated by the belief that despite myriad human rights abuses in the world today, if youth truly understood the 30 rights enshrined in this United Nations document and insisted on their own rights and the rights of others, we could create a sea change in society in a single generation,\u201d says Sims.<\/p>\n United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights are supported by Scientology Churches and Scientologists, making it possible to provide materials free of charge to educators, civic and community leaders and anyone wishing to educate youth on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The program was inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L.\u00a0Ron Hubbard, who believed \u201cHuman rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe best way to achieve this,\u201d says Sims, \u201cis through education.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information, visit the website of United for Human Rights<\/a> or watch The Story of Human Rights<\/a> and Thirty Rights Brought to Life<\/em><\/a> on the Scientology Network.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/humanrights.com<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/youthforhumanrights.org<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientologynews.org\/press-releases\/<\/a><\/p>\n MULTIMEDIA<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.humanrights.com\/course\/<\/a><\/p>\n VIDEO:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/documentaries\/the-story-of-human-rights.html<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/documentaries\/30-rights-brought-to-life.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n
