Their self-titled magazine is sent to 400,000 educators twice annually, in September and January, and tens of thousands of educators use their free curricular kits. More than 10,000 schools participate in our annual Mix It Up at Lunch Day program.

1. Museum of Tolerance (MOT)

A Los Angeles-based institution, the MOT is a “one of a kind museum” that serves as the epicenter for interaction and dialogue for K-16 students and faculty, law enforcement agencies, community organizations and international visitors.

Their site includes cutting-edge curricula that explore such issues as “the power of words” and “family and culture” that align to museum content but can also be used in any classroom.
