Safe Schools this Thursday!

Hi everyone,

There's a Safe Schools seminar on Thursday that might help us answer out questions on who gets to decide which books make it into classrooms and libraries! If you aren't familiar with Safe Schools, it is an organization that promotes education and discussion in the teacher education department around issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. The group and the sessions welcome anyone who would like to learn more! (And there's always free pizza!)

Legal Rights & Responsibilities

Attorney Jay Kaplan from the ACLU will return to provide an overview of the teachers’ and schools legal rights and responsibilities towards GLBT students, teachers, and parents. He will also give us an update on the current legislation affecting Michigan schools, including the school bullying bill.
