Last night I attended an open house for the Human Rights Education Center of Utah. It was fun to meet new people and to see the HREC’s new office. My colleague, Carla Kelley, is the Executive Director. My fellow blogger, Cliff Lyon of oneutah is on the Board of Directors for the HREC. Carla teaches human rights and peace study classes at our school, City Academy.

The Human Rights Education Center of Utah (HREC) was established in 1999 to teach tolerance and promote respect for differences and an appreciation for diversity.
This year we will reach over 2500 children and young adults providing educational training programs teaching anti-bias, diversity and peacemaking education
“By kindergarten, some children believe they have the right to control the social experience of other children.” Vivian Gussin Paley
The HREC provides much needed valuable education for our community – especially in schools. This organization is working on anti-bullying legislation for the next Utah Legislative Session. Both Houses passed an anti-bullying resolution in the last session, a great first step and one that was long overdue.
The HREC offers all sorts of classes to individuals and groups. It has an extensive library that anyone can utilize.
