A Resolution for Peace

Whereas...We as educators have the responsibility to develop our students' basic knowledge of world events and issues and students must understand and respect the underlying values of all societies;

Whereas...Students must be able to learn how citizens gather information, consider opposing opinions, come to conclusions and act on their beliefs;

Whereas...Each individual makes an important contribution to peace in our world and there is a warlike quality pervasive in our daily lives;

Whereas...Educators should show their students that they are willing and able to help students strive for a peaceful world;

Whereas...It is important for educators to develop the conviction needed to combat hopelessness and work toward insuring our survival;

Be it resolved...We, women educators, as members of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, mut provide our students with the critical thinking, conflict resolution, and cooperative learning skills necessary for them to become responsible and active citizens striving for positive change and a peaceful world.

Adopted by the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, August, 1986, Indianapolis, Indiana, from the origianl resolution adopted by Alpha Kappa State May 4, 1985
