We LOVED learning from you, Dionne! @CapHls @Harvard_Law “I shared my ideas, and ultimately presented my paper, and the group was phenomenally supportive,” https://t.co/M2ZQ2UstJ1 via @Harvard_Law

Thank you @MichaelPWomack for being here and speaking with us about your crucial work protecting LGBTQ+ youth.
This week I’ve been at @Harvard_Law speaking with students and faculty about the impacts of Florida’s #DontSayGay bill and what’s next in the fight for equality in Florida. 📚

“Having had a great teacher and an amazing mentor, I figured I could be both a teacher and a mentor to young kids, especially Black young men who might have gotten in trouble." -Brandon Foster

"The classroom has become a half-abandoned battlefield, where grown-ups who claim to be protecting students from the virus, from books, from ideologies and counter-ideologies end up using children to protect themselves and their own entrenched camps."
“One study found that college-educated Democrats were more likely to hold false views about their political enemies than those without four-year degrees. More education generally makes people more Democratic, but not more democratic.”

2/ In my experience kids are not homophobic. In fact, they are naturally inquisitive, kind, & understanding. It’s the adults that teach kids homophobia & hate. It starts when adults in hush tones imply something is wrong & shameful. It starts with a bill like “Don’t Say Gay”

This bigoted bill is an attack on LGBTQ+ people everywhere. My heart breaks for the LGBTQ+ kids in Florida growing up just like I did who deserve to live in dignity and as their authentic selves. I see you. And I won't stop fighting until you can. https://t.co/8mpIyt5Lh5

DOE: "all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX’s protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We stand with our LGBTQ+ students in Florida and across the country." @SecCardona
