Tolerance is a personal decision that comes from a belief that every person is a treasure. I believe that America’s diversity is its strength. I also recognize that ignorance, insensitivity and bigotry can turn that diversity into a source of prejudice and discrimination.
To help keep diversity a wellspring of strength and make America a better place for all, I pledge to have respect for people whose abilities, beliefs, culture, race, sexual identity or other characteristics are different from my own.
To fulfill my pledge, I [TYPE YOUR NAME HERE] will
* examine my own biases and work to overcome them
* set a positive example for my family and friends
* work for tolerance in my own community
* speak out against hate and injustice.
We Share A World
For all our differences, we share one world. To be tolerant is to welcome the differences and delight in the sharing.
