Davis Elementary School isn't the first school in the Cobb County School District to receive recognition as a No Place for Hate school, but it is one of the first. And it was the first Thursday.

We showed you the visit Thursday of the Anti-Defamation League's Holli Levinson to Mabry Middle School to present its No Place for Hate banner for the 2011-12 school year, but Davis was her first stop that morning.

Wheeler High got the No Place for Hate ball rolling in Cobb County, as East Cobb Patch reported.

The application process alone represents a serious commitment of time and effort to teaching kids to accept differences, defuse conflicts and stop bullying, so the adults and the kids at each school deserve credit for taking the problem of bullying seriously.

Do you think these efforts pay off? Let us know in the comments below.
