Does the High School you work in have a healthy way to promote tolerance for gay and lesbian students?

I work in a HS that REFUSES to acknowledge that some of its student body is gay or lesbian. They will NOT tolerate a club for these children or any kind of program. I actually used to work in another school who CELEBRATED a day for gay-awareness and tolerance. How is it in your school?

My high school has a Gay-Straight Alliance club, and one day a year we have students sign up and receive a ribbon to be silent an entire day to respect those who are gay and endure so much pain for it. I forget the actual holiday name.

I think my school (its in NH) actually has a pretty good tolerance of non-straight students.

The school my son attends seems to promote tolerance of all students, unlike many others in the school district. That may come from the diversity in our particular high school compared to the others close by. We are in an affluent community, though our high school is in the area with the lowest socio-economic “status”. We also have the highest ESL population of the district. Diversity is the name of the game. I know there are difficulties; regular fights and the like, but the administration and staff at least present a good front.

They present a Multi-Cultural Day (though my son says it’s rather lame) and HUGS week, which celebrates unity within the school.

The school where I worked decided that in all fairness, special awareness days would be banned, because there are too many special interest groups, and not enough days.

They did not “celebrate” any group over any other. We had great harmony and peace in the school, as no one was forced to “tolerate” any group’s “in your face” attitude. It was the most tolerant place I taught.

At another school where I taught, where they had special awareness days, there were also high incidences of extreme violence towards members of certain groups
