SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
"Friendship Through Education Initiative." Requests the Board of Education to encourage the public schools of the Commonwealth to participate in the "Friendship Through Education Initiative" to promote an understanding of citizenship, appreciation for community service, and a culture of peace that respects the worth and dignity of all persons. The "Friendship Through Education Initiative" is a consortium of international organizations designed to combat terrorism by building strong and lasting relationships between American children and those of other countries and cultures, particularly Islamic countries. The "Friendship Through Education Initiative" was announced by the President on October 25, 2001, in his appeal to the American people to fight terrorism on the homefront with courage, patience, community service, and humanitarian outreach to the people of Afghanistan. This resolution is a recommendation of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission.
