Students can talk to teachers ‘ accounts of their experience as queer teachers.
A Massachusetts high school hosted events such as” Queer Jeopardy” and” The History of Queer Media” during its “LGBTQ+ Awareness Day” this past Wednesday.
Professors may attend an “inspiring” teacher/staff board where participants shared their “experiences as gay educators,” according to a college magazine obtained by Parents Defending Education, thanks to the efforts of the Boston-adjacent Newton South High School’s Gender and Sexual Awareness and Gender Equity Clubs.
There also was the conversation” How to Engage: A Guide to Polite Curiosity”, described as a” crash course” in “how to ask questions about LGBTQ+ identity and foster inclusive discussions”.
At the day’s” Queer Jeopardy” event, contestants could “test]their ] knowledge of LGBTQ+ history and trivia” ( and win candy if victorious! ), and then “explore the 130-year-long history of queer people in digital media” (! ) along with “modern-day changes and events” in” The Story of Queer Media” program.
The Lion claims that teachers had the right to” mark up their classes” for the classes, which spanned four of the five stones that made up the day’s curriculum.
The email stated in an odd way that student cooperation was voluntary:” Learners who may not be ready to engage with this substance may be dismissed to cancelled school in the auditorium” (emphasis added ).
Shortly after Libs of TikTok highlighted the story on X, Newton Public Schools Superintendent Anna Nolin , ( pictured ) deleted her personal account on the platform.
A city secondary school celebrated” Transgender Awareness Week” last month, but this time students were not able to opt out.
According to , The Daily Signal, the Angiers Elementary reputation, which “help]ed ] raise the awareness about trans people and address concerns members of the community face”, qualified as training on” sexual orientation or gender identity”, and as such was necessary.
” While parents/guardians/caregivers does settle out of the health education specifically related to sexual reproduction, our responsibility to sex and sexuality education remains firm”, a school board report says. Our curriculum “always conforms to state regulations to foster the understanding and acceptance of various personalities and cultures.
orientations.”
In contrast, at Newton North, the state’s another high school, the patient’s business has a signal which reads” This workplace is a protected space. Kindly make nurses conscious of chosen names/pronouns. If you would like us to use alternate names or pronouns when you call house, let us know.
Another sign in a hallway near the school’s share reads” Respect Their/Zir/ Her/His Identity.”
