MEAN
Written by Rita Cannon, Music by Kymani Kahlil
September 29 – October 15, 2017
Taylor wears plus-size clothing. Inam wears a hijab. Nick doesn't have a girlfriend. And that's all it takes for these three teens to be singled out as victims by school bullies. But, despite what they think, they're not alone. Supporting them in their struggles, their teachers, parents, and friends slowly show them that it's okay, even good, to be different.
Themes: Bullying prevention, “upstanding” vs. bystanding, human rights, body size acceptance, religious freedom, tolerance, accepting of others’ differences
Recommended for grades 5 and up
