What do you do when it IS, in fact, your circus and they ARE, indubitably, your monkeys? #teachertwitter

Training staff about the LGBTQ community can help them not only understand community members better but will also help them be more successful in their interactions! We can no long be naive to the people in our community! #edu6595

BIPOC are also repeatedly gaslighted by others around them that they are not being harmed and eventually internalize this false narrative. All people need to be able to listen in order to understand another’s perspective without feeling defensive or attacked. (2/2) #edu6595

In June 2020, Dr. Ramani Durvasula discussed the chasm in U.S. culture regarding racism & institutionalized racism. She highlights the fact that Black people are continuously harmed in this country because of their skin color or the effects of their past disenfranchisement. (1/2)

A couple of questions I have for anyone seeing this:
How can teachers best support their students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, non-binary or transgender?
Did you yourself have a Gay Straight Alliance that you participated in in your own school? #edu6595 #transrightsinschools

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

It saddens me that parents can take issue with students being afforded the same rights that their own children enjoy, such as using a restroom or locker room that affirms their gender identity. #edu6595 #transrightsinschools #TransRightsAreHumanRights

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

Transgender students shouldn't have to pay the price for others' discomfort with their identity. #edu6595 #transrightsinschools #TransRightsAreHumanRights

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

If it makes others in the school community uncomfortable, then restrooms should be reconstructed to include fuller coverage of individual stalls, similar to many new builds and gender-neutral restrooms with shared sink areas. (2/2) #edu6595 #transrightsinschools

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

As a teacher, I think that any sort of discrimination based on one’s identity is wrong and should not be allowed by law. All students should be allowed to use the restroom that affirms their gender identity (1/2) #edu6595 #transrightsinschools #TransRightsAreHumanRights

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

This case can be applied forward to Title IX, which protects students against sex discrimination in their publicly funded schools. Some implications may be protecting the right to use the bathroom that affirms one's gender. (3/3) #edu6595 #transrightsinschools

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

This case pertained to Title VII as an employee cannot be discriminated against based on sex. The ruling was made that Bostock was discriminated based “but-for” his sex, for being attracted to men, since a woman would not have been fired for being attracted to men. (2/3) #edu6595

[Profe Calli Z @profe_z]

In June of 2020, The Supreme Court saw the case of Bostock v. Clayton County. It ruled in favor of Bostock and held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees against discrimination because they are gay or transgender. (1/3) #edu6595 #transrightsinschools

“Education either functions…to [integrate youth] into the logic of the present system & bring about conformity or it becomes the praxis of freedom, by which [all] deal critically and creatively with reality & discover how to participate in the transformation of their world”
