HATEFUL SPEECH: How to Have Difficult Conversations With Your Teen About Slurs & Racism


Middle schoolers push and test boundaries. Students are often not aware of the impact of the language they use on others, and how bias is present in these moments. Adults play a critical role in shaping children's perceptions of race and other differences between people.

DISCURSO DE ODIO: Cómo Tener Conversaciones Difíciles Con su Adolescente Sobre Insultos y Racismo

Los estudiantes de secundaria superan y ponen a prueba los límites. Los estudiantes a menudo no son conscientes del impacto que el lenguaje que utilizan en los demás y de cómo los prejuicios están presentes en estos momentos. Los adultos desempeñan un papel fundamental en la configuración de las percepciones de los niños sobre la raza y otras diferencias entre las personas.

Come aboard with Carrboro High School JagTheatre as we set sail for the 2022 revision of Anything Goes. Billy Crocker (Brodie Hargiss, 11th) has thrown caution to the wind to go after the woman he loves, Hope Harcourt (Asbie Moseley, 10th). Just one problem, she is engaged to someone else!  Billy teams up with his old friend Reno Sweeny (Mary Mask, 11th), gets caught up in the antics of Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin (Asher Margulies, 12th), and must avoid being spotted by his boss Elisha Whitney (Mack Smith, 12th) along his road to love. If he succeeds, it could mean that more than one couple finds happiness on the journey.  This fast paced musical features the classic music of Cole Porter and will leave you singing the familiar tunes long after the curtain has gone down.  It is sure to be a truly de-lovely night of toe tapping fun.

Where: Carrboro High School Auditorium 201 Rock Haven Rd. Carrboro, NC 27510
