Queen meets with Taft High students to support integration programs and promote tolerance and acceptance
Los Angeles, Oct.25 (Petra|) Five years ago, William Howard Taft High School in Los Angeles, CA piloted an innovative and bold program to eradicate prejudice and intolerance amongst its students. Since its inception, the Zerohour campaign has fought successfully to fight those problems and promote multicultural inclusion.
. . . After hearing about the effects of the program, the Queen engaged the students in a dynamic question and answer session where she described Jordan as having “an amalgam of backgrounds focused on one vision: a vision of tolerance, moderation, acceptance, and dialogue.”
. . . Queen Rania, who has been focusing much of her programs on the need to bridge the divide between East and West, stressed the importance of cross-cultural dialogue. “Even though we have open communication channels, we know about each other less and that is something I always find baffling,” she said, “We have to make that extra effort to step out of our comfort zone, to challenge some of the assumptions we make … You’ll realize how much you can learn from people different from yourselves.”
