http://www.dontlaugh.org/programs.htmOperation Respect: Don’t Laugh at Me
Operation Respect is a non-profit organization working to transform schools, camps and organizations focused on children and youth, into more compassionate, safe and respectful environments. Founded by Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul & Mary, the organization disseminates educational resources that are designed to establish a climate that reduces the emotional and physical cruelty some children inflict upon each other by behaviors such as ridicule, bullying and-in extreme cases-violence. It is a unique organization that provides a gateway to broad scale adoption of school-based character education as well as social and emotional learning (SEL) programs.
Thanks to the generosity of The McGraw-Hill Companies, and other supporters, Operation Respect disseminates the DLAM programs free of charge. More than 100,000 copies of the curriculum have been distributed to educators since Operation Respect's inception. Please go to the Programs section of our website to register, order and/or download a complimentary copy of the school and camp curriculum materials.
