2/ In my experience kids are not homophobic. In fact, they are naturally inquisitive, kind, & understanding. It’s the adults that teach kids homophobia & hate. It starts when adults in hush tones imply something is wrong & shameful. It starts with a bill like “Don’t Say Gay”

DOE: "all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX’s protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We stand with our LGBTQ+ students in Florida and across the country." Secretary Miguel Cardona

#TitleIX

"The classroom has become a half-abandoned battlefield, where grown-ups who claim to be protecting students from the virus, from books, from ideologies and counter-ideologies end up using children to protect themselves and their own entrenched camps."

“Having had a great teacher and an amazing mentor, I figured I could be both a teacher and a mentor to young kids, especially Black young men who might have gotten in trouble." -Brandon Foster hrvd.me/BrandonFoster2…
