Nick, the current Editor-in-Chief of NAMES, the scholarly journal for onomastic research(“Onomastics” is the formal name for the scientific study of names and naming) discusses name-based prejudice and how incredibly harmful to individuals and groups. Teachers have a critical role to play in calling attention to this problem and helping to end societal tolerance of name-based prejudice and discrimination.
