Introduction
The questions below are adapted from the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The relevant UDHR articles are
included parenthetically in each statement. Some of these issues
correlate more directly to the UDHR than others. All of these
questions are related to the fundamental human right to education
found in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration:
Everyone has the right to education... Education shall be directed to
the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening
of respect forhuman rights and fundamental freedoms.
When discrimination is mentioned in the questionnaire below, it refers
to a wide range of conditions: race, ethnicity/culture, sex, physical/
intellectual capacities, friendship associations, age, culture,
disability, social class/financial status, physical appearance, sexual
orientation, life style choices, nationality, and living space.
Although this is a much more expansive list than that found in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is more helpful in assessing
the human rights temperature in your community.
The results should provide a general sense of the community's climate
in light of principles found in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
