About This Lesson

victim or a perpetrator, and consider the consequences of just standing

explores civic responsibility, societal influence, human experience, or
peer pressure. This lesson extends into social studies – particularly

with intellectual disabilities, consider whose responsibility it is to protect equal
rights, and take action...
