The No-Taunting Pledge

NEA wants to help you organize a "No-Taunting Pledge" in your school.

The "No-Taunting Pledge" recited by Colorado Education Association member Beverly Ausfahl to the 1999 Representative Assembly left a powerful impression on delegates.

I will pledge to be part of the solution.
I will eliminate taunting from my own behavior.
I will encourage others to do the same.
I will do my part to make my community a safe place by being more sensitive to others.
I will set the example of a caring individual.
I will eliminate profanity towards others from my language.
I will not let my words or actions hurt others.
And if others won't become part of the solution, I will.
