As Hate Incidents Increase, Students Seek Peace

Last spring, four Howard County teen-agers were charged with hate crimes for allegedly defacing their school with racial slurs, swastikas, and more.
Now, some Maryland students, parents, teachers, and principals are pushing back with a message of diversity, understanding, and empathy.
