The World Assembly,
Since bigotry creates undue harm and an undesirably divided, unsafe, and uncivil society and learning environment, hereby:
- Defines “hate speech” as public speech that expresses, encourages, stirs up, or incites hatred against an individual or group of individuals distinguished by and the hatred being for one or multiple arbitrary characteristics,
- Mandates that member states provide through some form of education, in good faith, to all of their students, an accurate understanding of:
- the common forms of bigotry, including racism, sexism, and queerphobia;
- the arbitrary characteristics targeted by the taught common forms of bigotry;
- why said bigotry is unjust;
- why tolerating arbitrary characteristics is just; and
- the notion that hate speech must not be used.
- Directs schools within member states to:
- offer resources to their students to help them deal with bigotry due to one or multiple arbitrary characteristics they possess;
- actively work to prevent (and punish those behind known occurrences of) hate speech and harassment or discrimination by their students against individuals or groups of individuals for one or multiple arbitrary characteristics, or the perception thereof, and encourage their students to report and work to prevent such hate speech, harassment, and discrimination by their fellow students,
- not express hate speech, harass or discriminate against their students because of one or multiple arbitrary characteristics an individual or group of individuals possesses, or the perception thereof.
