The major topics are legal precedent and professional development. This isn't a "read cover to cover" book. Excellently written, and thoughtful. The chapter on legal precedent for student equality and protection for children in the school environment is particularly good. A must have for any educator, whether they be in K-12 or beyond. ( ) A great informative book over the rights of young people in schools. The book goes over in nice deal the recent court decisions which now shape the rights our students now have to be out. I warmly recommend this book -whether you are a student in public school wanting to know your rights be out, a teacher who wants to know your rights, someone who is concerned about students rights, and more. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Despite significant advances for gay and transgender persons in the United States, the public school environment remains daunting, even frightening, as evidenced by numerous high-profile incidents of discrimination, bullying, violence, and suicide. Yet efforts to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students and educators, or to enhance curricula to better reflect the experience of differing sexual orientations and gender identities, are bitterly opposed in the courtroom, at the ballot box, and especially in the schools themselves. The Right to Be Out begins with a cogent history and analysis of the dramatic legal developments concerning the rights of LGBT persons since 1968. Stuart Biegel then turns to what K-12 schools should do--and in many cases have already done--to implement right-to-be-out policies. He examines recent legal and public policy changes that affect LGBT students and educators in the K-12 public school system. Underlying all of these issues, he shows, is an implicit tension about the right to be out, a right that is seen as fundamental within LGBT communities today and, legally, draws on both the First Amendment right to express an identity and the Fourteenth Amendment right to be treated equally. Biegel addresses the implications of asserting and protecting this right within the hotly contested terrain of America's public schools ... A safe and supportive educational environment for all students is possible, Biegel concludes, if built on shared values and a belief in the strength of our pluralistic society."--Publisher's description.
