Why is it that teachers stand idly by when they hear students say words like "dyke" and "faggot," but would be quick to reprimand and punish a student that used the word "nigger." Is there a double standard when it comes to discrimination? Why?
As an educator how do you work with parents of LGBTQ students that may or may not accept their student's sexual orientation, especially if there is bullying going on?
Serving and Supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and
Educators in the 21st century are required to meet the needs of all learners, regardless of their ability, race, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation. In order to do so it is crucial examine our own biases and misconceptions about groups, and educate ourselves about the best ways to serve and support minority students.
According to 2010 National School Climate Survey, 61% of LGBTQ students do not feel safe at school. Nine out of 10 LGBTQ students experience harassment, and are seven times more likely than straight kids to skip school to avoid bullying (Killman, 2010). There are several strategies teachers can employ to make school a safe, accepting place for LGBTQ students.
One of the most effective ways to repress bullying is by monitoring the language that is being used in school. A national survey published in the The Prevention Researcher, found “73.6% [of LGBT students] reported routinely hearing homophobic remarks at school and less than a fifth reported that school staff regularly intervened when these remarks were made in their presence” (Diaz, 2010, p. 2). Teachers have the opportunity to lead by example in these matters, by condemning discriminatory language, displaying LGBTQ friendly symbols, such as “SAFEZONE” signs in their offices, and by treating all students equally (Johnson, 2010).
Teachers can also include LGBTQ issues into their curriculum and provide examples of LGBTQ prominent people in discussions. Positive gay role models improve student self-esteem. Additionally, teachers should be aware of any biases in their textbooks and teaching material, and instead use materials that are inclusive (Graff, 2011).
Lastly, teachers can urge their schools to develop anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies. They can also sponsor gay-friendly clubs, like Gay Straight Alliance. Studies have shown that schools with GSA’s help LGBTQ students feel more connected to their school communities and safer at school (Diaz, 2010).

It is interesting to see how people react to this population. The language used to define the LGBT group is so offensive, yet used on a daily basis. During my time playing rugby I made many friends who were lesbians that played on the women teams. What was interesting though was that you rarely heard derogatory comments towards them. A lot of it I think had to deal with mutual respect- something more people need to learn. They were accepted by all the players. This couldn't be said for many of the fans though.
Part of it is that is how the parents grew up, and I am sad to say, it was accepted when I was a kid. It just keeps getting passed down from generation to generation as if it were still the norm. I think a lot of students use these words without consciously knowing the implications or meaning of what they are saying (though that is no excuse). Believe me, it is easy to do. I have to work hard to not say things like this because my neural nets have been so extensively wired to do it without thinking, having grown up in that environment. I have come a long way since high school.
WOW! Very powerful commentary - I've bookmarked this also. Much of what was said in this could be used across any type of stereo typing! I grew up in the 80s and kids would use the word faggot, but didn't know what it meant. Rarely was dyke used. Gay used all the time - and still is. Teachers today will say "don't use that word" but never go further to discipline. I don't know why....it is maddening.
I think the double standard has to do with the fear of controversy. Getting embroiled in an issue of discrimination against LGBT students opens a social (and sometimes religious) can of worms that some would rather avoid.
Do you think it is far more acceptable in large places like New York or Los Angeles vs Minnesota (rural or metro)?? I think our small town would have a hard time accepting a LGBT.....the adults anyway -- I think the kids would be far more accepting, but not 100%. What do you think where you live?
I have found metro areas to be more accepting of diversity in general - at least, that's been my experience. I happen to work in a field, theatre, that has a very high gay population, so my experinece, at least professionally, has been one that is very accepting of multiple sexual orientations.
I would imagine it would be harder for the smaller rural towns to accept a GLBT relationship, especially here in the bible belt. There is less diversity in the smaller areas and so anyone who is different stands out that much more.
Do you know if any schools have official disciplinary measures in the school handbooks that state if the derogatory terms are heard that there would be consequences? I'm curious if it is the staff that is not doing anything and ignoring the policy or if it is because there is no official policy that the administration has that states that it is not ok?
This is excerpted from my school's student handbook:
Harassment (Including Sexual)
Participating in or conspiring with others to engage in acts that injure, degrade, intimidate or disgrace other individuals, including indecent exposure, displaying pornography and words or actions that negatively impact an individual or group based on their racial, cultural or religious background, their sex, their sexual orientation, any disabilities they may have or their color, creed, national origin, marital status, status with regard to public assistance or age.
1st Offense
Suspension
2nd offense
5 day suspension
Having a handbook and everything is all well and good, but, as a question to everyone as well as Genevieve, does the school enforce these rules? We have been seeing all kinds of this behavior occurring in schools and the administrators fail to do something time and time again.Has your expert been harassed and found that nothing has been done about it? What did he/she do about it?
Growing up, "gay" was slung around quite freely..."that's gay", "you're gay", "that concert was gay." I'm not sure it was necessarily meant as a slam against LGBT, but I can totally understand why it was considered offensive. As far as kids today, I don't think it's being used nearly as much as when I was growing up. I asked my high school daughter about it, and she said she hardly ever hears anyone say it. They seem to use words like "sick", "burn", and "bark". As far as teachers go, if you hear any type of word which could be deemed offensive by any group, you should take action.
Genevieve- I watched Dan and Terry on WCCO, I think it was, 2 weeks ago. It was a great story. I am in agreement with Darla and Dan here that a lot of how we act reflects on what we were raised to think and believe. It is time to stop using that crutch and start acting like people from a new generation with new facts and new knowledge and new insights. If we are going to get anywhere, we need to embrace all components of our society. No more shoving the shame under the rug like my Minnesota ancenstors.
I agree w/ Kevin...being around my niece and nephew & their friends (10-13 year olds), I don't hear the word "gay" or "faggot" at all. They are using the "sick" and "burn" words as well. I would think that as LGBT has become more and more politically and media focused, that these terms would go by the wayside. I know our school has a policy that states, "anything offensive, derogatory, or has negative impacts on student's race, gender, etc., etc." Plus, same-sex couples are allowed to go to prom this year!
I love the "It gets better" series, but do teachers really stand by when students are using words like "faggot" or "dyke"? When I was in school, that absolutely would not have been tolerated, and this is at a fairly rural school.
I think it 's getting better - but gay people cannot legally marry in this state, and though Don't Ask Don't Tell was FINALLY repealed, the Federal Government won't take a stand on gay marriage. The research that I read suggested that teachers are far less inclined to act on discriminatory language that has to do with sexual orientation, than any other kind of language. My authentic voices will support this with their stories.
After today, I can believe this. It doesn't really matter what the fight or the bullying is about, we need to get involved! I subbed today and was on my way to lunch when I saw at least 100 students gathered in the hallway. My first instinct was that it was a fight and I should go start yelling to break it up. I saw two female teachers turn and walk in the other direction. They most definitely turned a blind eye. I just don't understand how they can turn away? It is our job to maintain a safe learning environment for every student.
Do you think the GLBT population is facing more and more acceptance? Even 5 years ago, most people were opposed to gay marriage, and now more people are in favor of it, at least in a number of studies I've seen. It seems the gay community has made some big strides towards acceptance in the last few decades
I know you're not asking me... but I think society has made incredible strides and I think the media has played a very large role in this. We still have a long way to go though.
Video reminds me of the 30 Days episode related to Gay Adoption, and how frustrated they were with the folks who thought they shouldn't be allowed to be parents.
Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers was recently fined 100,000 dollars for calling a referee a "faggot" during a game. Is $100,000 enough, or does tha amount not matter? Of course, ha later apologized. My opinion is that if a white player were to call a referee a "nigger" during a game, that it would have been a much bigger story, and a much bigger fine. What do you think?
I wonder if it would help if you explained the etymology of the term "faggot" to the kids using it. It means "stick of kindling wood" and was originally used to mock gay people as they were being burned alive for their "deviation".
No problem! Yes, I very much feared being bullied. It's interesting-I look back on that time, and I was so repressed and afraid that everything about me was tense...I watched how I moved my hands, how I spoke, all because I didn't want to be bullied. I remember one minor experience at the beginning of my freshman year that confirmed in my younger mind that I should hide: I have (and still have) a habit of crossing my legs while standing for long periods of time... two seniors commented on this one night while we were waiting for rides home in our school lobby. I have no idea if they knew I could hear them.
That minor experience suggested to me at the time that I'd be teased behind my back... I never feared being hurt physically. But as I said in the questionnaire, I feared being mistreated through ostracizing.
Hi Matthew. Thank you for sharing your story and for joining us today. What are some things that we, as future teachers, can do to support the LGBT population in middle or high schools?
Abby-I will answer your question later today... I need a little time to think it over. I don't know if my answer can be specifically groundbreaking, but it could offer a suggestion for a step forward.
Elizabeth-You bring up the point that was the reasoning behind my initial pseudo-answer to Abby's question. Only so much can be done in JUST the classroom. Unless parents accept it as something that doesn't need approval, there is no way it can healthily be acknowledged to its full potential ('it' being homosexuality). All I can say is that a teacher who is open-minded in the classroom can do their best to alter their language when referring to students' futures...
I think that a step forward (not a full on solution) is to not be passive when faced with disciplining bullying of any kind and degree. Face it, don't try to hide it/shush it up from public view. Showing a concern for the issues is really doing a lot. As I said earlier, being covered up/ignored is a terrible feeling.
Think of the late Matthew Shepherd's parents---they've been able to change so many perspectives because they didn't try to hide that tragic event...so don't hide the more minor ones!
Do you feel that teachers should educate their students on LGBT, like they would racism? If so, would that make it harder on you, if you were in the class, or better?
Genevieve, I like how you added the "Q" for "questioning students". I hadn't seen that before. I think it's another important group of students that need to be recognized and supported.
What is the best approach to bullying? I feel like punishment isn't the answer, they need education! People who bully, know they will face consequences and their actions indicate that they're okay with being punished. We need to reach them on an intrinsic level and make them change their point of view. Punishment may get them to be apologetic, but how do we get them to be empathetic?
I just wanted to share something has been floating around Facebook that I re-posted recently. Slightly off the school topic but I got a kick out of it... "So let me get this straight......Kelsey Grammer can end a 13-year marriage by phone, Larry King can be on divorce #9, Britney Spears had a 55 hour marriage, Jesse James and Tiger Woods, while married, were having sex with EVERYONE. 53% of Americans get divorced and 30-60% cheat on their spouses. Yet, same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Really? Repost if you find this ridiculous."
Hi Matthew,

Whenever you read in the news about another unfortunate teen who committed suicide over bullying with these types of issues the school usually swears they knew nothing of it...I find it VERY hard to believe. I am more inclined to think that some teacher isn't sleeping as well anymore.
