On May 21, Brooklyn South High Schools' administrators and principals were honored by the Department of Education for their innovative anti-ageism curriculum. By utilizing the Anti-Ageism Resource Guide, teachers championed the cause and received certificates for their contributions. NYC Aging’s Deputy Commissioner Ryan Murray emphasized the importance of educating students to combat age discrimination, highlighting the program as a model for the nation. With national recognition and financial support from the Next50 foundation, the initiative aims to expand throughout public schools in the city, promoting inclusivity.
Brooklyn South high schools pioneered this effort, and the resource guide is expanding citywide. I'm excited to continue working with NYC Public Schools to ensure younger New Yorkers keep pushing back against ageism.
Educating students about ageism is the first step toward ending it. Lessons on age discrimination are helping us build a more inclusive city and have become a model for communities across the country.
