Not In Our Town is an excellent catalyst for discussion about racial tolerance and diversity. The Not In Our Town Video and Viewing Guide provide a dynamic resource that helps teachers and event organizers facilitate dialogue abou these timely and challenging issues.

The comprehensive 16-page Viewing Guide was developed by teachers and is designed to support subjects including: civic responsibility, the bill of rights, diversity, multi-cultural issues, prejudice reduction, and conflict resolution. Accepted for Grade 11 Social Studies in California, it is appropriate for History/Social Studies, Civics, U.S. History, Literature and English classes. The Guide provides thoughtful lessons plans and innovative activities designed to help students strengthen their analytical, interpersonal, study, writing, speaking and listening skills. It also includes a bibliography and resource list.

The Not In Our Town curriculum was promoted by the National Association of School Principals and School Administrators, the National Education Association, and the American Federation of Teachers. Not In Our Town is currently used by Facing History and Ourselves, the STAR Program, the Educational Development Center and hundreds of other religious and community-based groups across the nation.
