School Support for LGBTQ+ Kids
Manage episode 333499666 series 2932760
We are thrilled to welcome Alicia Arballo to our show again, this time to talk about inclusiveness and affirming practices and policies at school. We also discuss legislation the LGBTQ+ community should be aware of.
Alicia is a transgender woman, a school counselor, and a former teacher, with over 36 years of experience in education. She advocates for the LGBTQ+ community's rights and is an inspiration for her students and colleagues.
In this episode, we discuss the importance and the urgency of making our schools a safe and affirming space for our kids. Alicia teaches us about Bulletin 6224, which obliges LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) schools to provide equal educational opportunity to all students and to accommodate all needs for the safety and affirmation of LGBTQ+ students. These policies were created to address and provide support to transgender and gender nonconforming students enrolled in the district.
In addition, Alicia highlights the benefits of incorporating LGBTQ+ affirming curriculum in schools and shares an example of how students' grades and attitudes improved with its inclusion. We also explore the idea that our legislation is outdated compared to society's current makeup. In the end, Alicia shares a beautiful, heartfelt message through a special letter that she received from a student.
