Hate Comes Home begins with the Homecoming dance no school should ever experience: two students are killed in a hate crime committed by other students. How could this ever happen? How could someone's hatred and biases lead to this?
Four students hold the keys to a peaceful outcome. As each character you must decide whether to let the incident happen or stop the manifestation of hate and the biases that caused it. Jake, who has moved from a homogenous town to an ethnically diverse school, must navigate a new world of conflicting messages. Richard, the school basketball star, must decide whether to live up to an African-American jock label, and label other people in turn, or to be himself and see others as multi-dimensional people. Lina, a smart student who has endured the effects of hate against Hispanics, must come to terms with her own biases. And Tisha, part African-American and part Vietnamese, must reconcile her cultures at home and at school. Can you make the right decisions and prevent this terrible incident from happening?
Created in cooperation with the Anti-Defamation League, Hate Comes Home has won many of the most prestigious awards in the education and software industry.
