Each week at RKYHS students participate in the SEED (Student Enrichment, Education and Development) speaker program, where students are exposed to multiple perspectives on a range of topics from broad-thinking professionals and volunteers. The speakers encourage students to challenge assumptions and engage in issues.
For its recent SEED speaker program, RKYHS students heard from Tony McAleer, a former organizer for the White Aryan Resistance (WAR). McAleer spoke to the students about his background, his journey and his personal transformation away from living a life of hate. McAleer is currently active with the organization Life After Hate, a nonprofit organization with a mission to help people leave hate groups, particularly white supremacy groups.
