Description
Summary:Specif-ically, according to the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, approximately 9.5% of youth between 13 and 17 in the United States identifyas LGBTQ+ (Williams Institute, 2020), while estimates from other Gallup polls put members of Gen Z at closer to 20% po nes, 2023). [...]of the more than 800,000 in SBAE, it's likely that tens of thousands of those students identify LGBTQ+, proving the importance of inclu-sive SBAE programs. Censorship laws, book bans, forced outing, and removal of anti-bullying protec-tions for LGBTQ+ students has fostered a hostile and scary school environment for many queer students. [...]we encourage SBAE teachers to continue seeking out resources and training to better serve the needs of their diverse classroom. [...]as we know, language (just like our animal king-dom) is ever evolving and we are continuing to develop terms to de-scribe the spectrum of human ex-periences and identities.
