Duncan Reads Schools the Riot Act over Gay/Straight Alliances:
"Don't fuck with them."

I cannot *stand* Duncan ( Among other things he actually undercuts GLBT rights by weakening teacher protections, but hold that thought for now.)

But he ( like "Tracey's Mom" ) has "got it going on" on this issue.

I'm forwarding it my Superintendent.



>>>>The process of revising or developing an equal-access policy offers an opportunity for school officials to engage their community in an open dialogue on the equal treatment of all noncurricular student organizations. It is important to remember, therefore, that the Equal Access Act’s requirements are a bare legal minimum. I invite and encourage you to go beyond what the law requires in order to increase students’ sense of belonging in the school and to help students, teachers, and parents recognize the core values behind our principles of free speech. As noted in our October 2010 Dear Colleague Letter and December 2010 guidance regarding anti-bullying policies, I applaud such policies as positive steps toward ensuring equal access to education for all students.

Thank you for your work on behalf of our nation’s children.

Sincerely,

/s/
Arne Duncan>>>>


The whole thing:

4. He is ( they are) a horror show generally, but.....
.... Duncan is weirdly proactive on this issue.

No, I can't explain it.
