Racism - Discrimination - Stereotypes: What's the difference?  And is tolerance really something we need to be concerned about in Sioux Falls, South Dakota?  Spotlight host and PCN Director Darcy Jensen visits with guests Clara Hart, a School/Home Liaison for the Sioux Falls School District, and Karla Abbott, Chair of the Sioux Falls Human Relations Commission, about diversity and tolerance in our area.  Students from the Memorial Middle School Improv troupe, under the advisement of Stacy Lane, PVPS S.A.F.E. Prevention Counselor, offer skits outlining their views on the topic, and then join the discussion.  They bring up questions such as, “What types of discrimination are there? Where does it come from and why does it matter? How do schools handle discrimination or diversity?”
