What to Do When You're Under Attack

Abstract:
When under attack, it's sometimes hard to keep things in perspective. It is important to have policies and answers to questions readily available. The experiences of many schools around the country show that it is a mistake to dig in their heels and expend all resources and energy simply responding to accusations. Rather, this is the time to think clearly, sort out what the issues really are, and illuminate them publicly so more people can take part in discussion, debate, and decision-making.
