“Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Anti-Defamation :League's program " A World of Difference," currently used in Gilbert Public comprehensive high schools. I was able to observe and talk to peer trainers at Highland High School last spring. The trainers did an excellent job of helping fellow students understand the importance of respecting and including everyone. This program helps keep our schools safe and secure, and that is why I support continuing to use it in our schools. Students learn best when they feel safe, secure, supported, and respected.”

“Thank you for posting the petition in support of ADL. I also support the ADL World of Difference Program. As board members we want to educate and train our young people in our community. This is a great program that I have observed in one of our high school classrooms conducted by peer student trainers. It teaches respect, tolerance and provides tools for students to deal with bullying and bigotry. It's part of the freshman experience and the campus community. These students not only use what they learn on campus but also carry it on in their own communities. Thanks again, Lily ”
