The HHS program is<br \/>\nfunded by a grant in partnership with Boston University and the<br \/>\nAnti-Defamation League. The high school level program is already being<br \/>\ntaught in 77 Massachusetts cities and towns. Unfortunately, a group of<br \/>\nHanover parents and citizens has brought loud protests against this<br \/>\nprogram. At this time, due to many factors including the backlash, the<br \/>\nprograms have been put on hold.<\/p>\n<p>The Hanover Unity Council stands in strong support of both the Anti-Bias<br \/>\nLeadership Program and the Raising Multicultural Kids program that is set<br \/>\nto resume in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>On the attached pages, you will find our statement and petition in support<br \/>\nof the programs. We are planning to submit the statement and signatures to<br \/>\nthe School Committee.  If you are a Hanover resident and are in support of<br \/>\nthe programs, we ask that you print and manually sign the petition and<br \/>\nreturn to us by January 3.
