Title: School's Out - The Impact of Gay and Lesbian Issues on America's Schools Author: Dan Woog Published by: Alyson Publications, 1995 ISBN: 1-55583-249-0 [Trade paperback, 383 pages]
America's schools are filled with gay men and lesbians and their heterosexual allies: students, teachers, principals, coaches, and counselors who face enormous challenges each day.Journalist Dan Woog set out to explore this uncharted terrain, interviewing nearly 300 people across the nation, and recording their remarkable, inspiring, and sometimes frightening stories.
From the scared teenager who doesn't want his teammates to know he's gay, to the straight teacher who wants to honor diversity by teaching gay issues in the classroom, Woog puts a human face on the people who truly are fighting for "liberty and justice for all." Together, the stories that make up School's Out shed light on a brave new ear in American education.
