(Dallas, USA) - A teacher uses class time to talk about how specific LGBT students are going to hell. A security guard calls an LGBT student a “faggot” within earshot of school administrators, who do nothing about it. The student subsequently drops out. An LGBT teacher is reprimanded for using his school’s video system to disseminate information about the Gay-Straight Alliance. These are just a few examples of a big problem within the Dallas Independent School District, according to LGBT district employees and members of a citizens committee. The committee is demanding that the district enforce its 16-year-old policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation by conducting staff training and hiring a director of LGBT initiatives.
