The Asian Pacific American Bar Association is proud to present its
Annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Event:
A Panel Discussion on Bullying, Hazing, and Discrimination
Discrimination takes many forms. Bullying, hazing, and similar
behavior are frequently dismissed as playground antics or taunting.
But oftentimes, this behavior is rooted in hatred and discrimination
and can result in physical and mental harm. A recent study reveals
that Asian students are bullied more than any other ethnic group.
Our panel examines why bullying of minorities and in particular
Asians is so prevalent, the undertones of racism, mental effects,
and remedies.
Opening remarks by Congresswoman Judy Chu.
Panelists:
Sarita G. Guerrero, Nationally Certified School Psychologist
Seth Levy, General Counsel, It Gets Better Project
Jennifer Snyder, Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney
Hon. David S. Wesley, Superior Court & Director of Teen Court Program
MCLE Credits Available. Food and drinks will be provided. Reception to follow panel.
This event is FREE with RSVP by May 25, 2012
