Removing Barriers to LGBTQ Student Safety and Achievement
Ridings, Aaron
State Education Standard, v20 n2 p37-41 May 2020
Students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ) continue to experience bullying and harassment from their peers in K-12 education. LGBTQ students experience discrimination based on their sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as intersecting identities that encompass race, disability status, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, among other categories. These lived experiences create barriers to short-term and long-term educational attainment and well-being. Barriers to LGBTQ students' safety and achievement are persistent, but state boards can help.
