SEXUAL EQUALITY! The NOH8 campaign in the world and how schools support sexual equality at home. Monday, March 4, 2013
THE NOH8 CAMPAIGN The NOH8 Campaign is a silent protest against the ban on same-sex marriage. Adam Bouska (a celebrity photographer) takes photos of celebrities that support this protest and travels the country to find people that support as well. The duct tape over the subject¡¯s mouths symbolizes same sex couples voices being silenced. Monday, March 4, 2013
THE CELEBS WHO SUPPORT! Dr. Drew Blake Lewis Scott Ian(Anthrax) (American Idol) & Pearl Aday Steve-O Pete Wentz Monday, March 4, 2013
SEXUAL EQUALITY IN SCHOOLS IS IMPORTANT The school environment is a place where every child should feel safe and protected. Children facing bullies because of their sexual orientation is not something that should be tolerated or accepted. Every one of us knows someone who has not been accepted because of their sexual orientation Monday, March 4, 2013
WAYS SCHOOLS PROTECT THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ Teachers acknowledge that all individuals in their situations need support and help. There is an increasing number of students who identify as LGBTQ. There is an increasing amount of hate crimes toward people in the LGBTQ community and in schools. Monday, March 4, 2013
TRY THE FOLLOWING EXERCISE... A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stamp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it they¡¯re sorry. Now even though they said they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bully¡¯s another child, they may say they¡¯re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Monday, March 4, 2013
