Finding Hope in Anoka-Hennepin

http://www.tolerance.org/blog/finding-hope-anoka-hennepin

Lately in Anoka-Hennepin School District there was an agreement that two LGBT students were allowed to walk up together in their schools Snow Day's events.  At this time last year LGBT students couldn't bring their dates to prom.  In this article it said that Anoka-Hennepin School District hasn't had very good issues with LGBT students. Atleast four LGBT students have commited suicide from being bullied. Two teachers have also been in trouble for harassing LGBT students. It's hard to believe that teachers would harass their own students because teachers are suppose to help their students.  Also, the neutrality policy has been a controversal issue. "It states that staff members shall remain neutral on matters regarding sexual orientation including but not limited to student led discussions.”  I believe that every student has the right to have a safe education.
