Re: [LM_NET] Question: Magazine Challenge

[Josephine Dervan <dervan@OPTONLINE.NET>]

I second Judith's comments. I received free copies of the magazine for years and 
teachers found it helpful in teaching sensitive topics. In recent years there were 
articles on bullies and how to deal with them as well as diversity topics.
 
I checked on the Intelligence Report. It is not promoting hate groups at all.  In 
fact it states that the group offers training to law officials dealing with hate 
groups. 
 
Here is information  from their website that you might want to share with your 
teachers:
 
Monitoring Hate and Extremist Activity
 

The Intelligence Project monitors hate groups and extremist activities throughout 
the U.S. and publishes the Center's award-winning Intelligence Report.
It also offers training to help law enforcement officials and human rights groups 
combat organized racism, including an online hate crime training course for law 
enforcement professionals.
Under the name 
Klanwatch, the Project began monitoring hate activity in 1981. In 1994, after 
uncovering links between white supremacist organizations and the emerging 
antigovernment "Patriot" movement, the Center expanded its monitoring operation to 
include militias and other extremist groups.
Today, the Project tracks more than 800 hate groups around the nation. The 
quarterly Intelligence Report provides comprehensive updates to law enforcement 
agencies, the media and the general public.
