One month later, an investigation resulted in a 595-page report entitled \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Health\u003c\/i\u003e. A few months later, in an attempt to provoke discussion about the report among teachers in Toronto, Tara Goldstein adapted the report into a dramatic script called \u003ci\u003eZero Tolerance\u003c\/i\u003e. The play was performed for the first time in September 2008 for 500 new teachers at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s annual Safe Schools Conference.\n\u003cbr\u003eNow for the first time, \u003ci\u003eZero Tolerance\u003c\/i\u003e and two other play scripts, \u003ci\u003eLost Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAna’s Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e are available as an anthology. The plays based on the themes of racism, xenophobia and homophobia provoke reflection and discussion about the experiences of marginalized families in North America and can be used by educators who work with teachers and youth in schools as well as university instructors who are teaching courses in Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Diaspora Studies, Equity Studies, Immigration Studies, Sexual Diversity Studies, Sociology, and Women’s Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSocial Fictions Series Editorial Advisory Board\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eCarl Bagley, University of Durham, UK\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAnna Banks, University of Idaho, USA\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eCarolyn Ellis, University of South Florida, USA\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eRita Irwin, University of British Columbia, Canada\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eJ.
