This is a link to the Wiki I designed to encourage dialogue and reflection of what tolerance and diversity mean to each of us as we actively build up rather than tear down those whom we share the world with. Please take time to visit it and leave a comment in the discussion tab. As always, please feel comfortable to contact me at darcy.barber@cortland.edu. Thank you for your interest.
Students will use oral and written language that follows the accepted conventions of the English language for effective social communi-cation with a wide variety of people. As readers and listeners, they will use the social communications of others to enrich their understanding of people and their views.
