MA Attorney General’s Office Guidance for School Athletic Staff on Hate Incidents

From the introduction to the guidance:

School sports can help students develop leadership and teamwork skills, foster diversity and inclusion, and bring communities together. But achieving these goals takes work. School administrators, athletic directors, coaches, referees and other adult leaders must collaborate to provide safe and supportive environments for student athletes–and prevent biased and hateful behavior from occurring in the locker room or on the field. The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office is providing this Guidance to assist school communities in their efforts to keep bias and hate out of sports and help ensure school athletics live up to their potential.
