Queering Our Schools
Blog #10
For this blog, I will be pulling quotes from "queering our schools" and explaining why they are important.
Quote: "How do we create classrooms and schools where each child, parent, and staff member's unique, beautiful self is appreciated and nurtured?" I think that this is a very big problem in this world, and I have had several experiences where I have been in situations where people are getting bullied or made fun of because of how they look, how they act or what they say.
Quote: "Just because people may dress or look a certain way on the outside, that does not necessarily mean they feel that way" This was easy for me to connect to because I have been in many situations where somebody has been judged or made fun of for something that they did but they don't even know the person and will just start making false accusations about them.
Quote: "In a recent survey, six out of 10 LGBTQ teens said that they felt unsafe at school and 82 percent had been verbally harassed because of their sexual orientation". After reading this, this made me think about how teenagers in my middle school and high school felt when a topic was brought up or if they got made fun. I think that it is a terrible thing to judge someone of what they choose to make their life out to be. Everybody is different and everyone has the right to make their life out of what they want. If somebody has a problem with how someone chooses to live their life, the best thing to do would be to just keep your mouth shut and ignore it but not say something verbally just because of their orientation.
Attached HERE is a link on how to avoid harming LGBTQ and how you can become a better person by supporting them because everyone deserves to be supported.
