About SCHOOLS

To subscribe to the SCHOOLS list:
Send email to: schools-subscribe@lists.youth-guard.org


This list is primarily used for information which will help in ending
homophobia in primary and secondary schools in North America by:

1) Advancing equality for sexual minorities within primary and secondary
schools in North America

2) Bringing groups and individuals together to work on strategies to bring
a halt to homophobia in primary and secondary schools

3) Resisting religious right and far-right political and legislative
initiatives against gay+ youth in primary and secondary schools, and in
colleges and universities.

We hope, through this list, to bring existing groups with useful models
into contact with each other, and to bring individuals into contact with
those groups. A national network of individuals and organizations is the
best chance we have for counteracting the message of the Radical Religious
Right and bringing change within our educational institutions.

response.
4) Copies of letters to politicians and the media which you have sent on
