Pics of My HS Bulletin Board Project. Touched a nerve this time.
Edited on Wed Nov-02-11 05:07 PM by Smarmie Doofus
Had to resist some pressure from admins to take it down. Also, lots of problems w. NYC DOE policy of "filtering" of glbt political, social and historic websites. Had to do most of the work at home.

Anyway.... October was LGBT History Month. Here's how I commemorated it in the school where I teach.





ED SEC. Arne Duncan ( I hate him, but he's good on these issues) wrote a letter in June to US school administrators telling them to let Gay-Straight Alliances use the facilities. The last paragraph calls for a little extra something. I guess my admins missed the letter. ( I forwarded a copy to the district supt. Hah. )


































In the la -BOR -a- to-ry:

6. Father Mychal Judge?
Is that a list of gay people or those who support GLBT rights?

10. You did a magnificent job! I showed my partner...
a 5th grade teacher, and he was so jealous!
he has been trying to incorporate glbt support in the DISD for years (along with protection and contraception- no success yet)

16. I wanted to do more pics of the "icons" .........
...hate that word, btw... but I had to kind of rush the board into production once I started it.

Once it is fully "installed"... it becomes a sort of fait accompli; it makes it harder and more awkward for them to insist that I take it down.

Gore made the cut cause I found a small enough pic online . And also 'cause I think he's magnificent.
