I shall encourage my classmates to also refrain from such behavior. Should I observe any violations, I am obligated to take at least one of the following actions:

 

a.       Talk personally to the violator and let them know that their actions demonstrate hate motivated behavior. I will remind them of the consequences that could result if they had been caught by a teacher or administrator.
