🗓️ September 8, 2021 📰 The New York Times
This article features insights from CCMH's Outreach Coordinator, Laura Guy, on how online extremists don't always begin with overtly hateful language. Instead, they often use edgy, dark humor and provocative jokes to engage youth. Guy highlights the importance of caregivers talking to their children in age-appropriate ways about hate, including recognizing signs like words, symbols, and images. She suggests that if caregivers don't address these issues, someone else might, and it may not be a credible source. Overall, her insight underscores the need for open communication and early conversations about online safety and hate.
