In my book, Thank You Mr. Falker, I deal with the themes of how a wonderful educator helped me recognize and eventually overcome a reading disorder, as well as how devastated I was as a child due to the relentless teasing I endured because of my disability.
Because the subject of teasing is so close to my heart, I feel that it is time that we as a country act swiftly to remove it from our culture.
I've created a pair of "tags" that can be downloaded, cut out, and turned into pins, necklaces, whatever... as long as the kids get a chance to have them available whenever they might feel so inclined
to point a finger or call a name...or be on the receiving end of such damaging behavior.
Please join me in this campaign. As we all well know, children are our most precious and valuable recourses... we simply cannot let one more child suffer the life long humiliation and scaring that can, and often times does come from teasing.
