The group discussed what is meant by hate crime, bullying and protected groups as well as the impact and consequences of hate crimes. The class all agreed it is not okay to be unkind to someone just because they look or act differently to ourselves, or like different things to us.
Aimee explained: "We should allow people to do what they want to do as long as they are not hurting others."
"If we see or hear hate crime we should report it to a trusted adult" Jay added.
