The Fight Isn't Over: How the History of LGBTQ+ Teachers Informs Current School Battles
Education historian Karen Graves will highlight elements from the history of LGBTQ+ educators that put current school battles in historical context in two talks. She will discuss how LGBTQ+ educators across the nation turned to the courts to protect their jobs, beginning in the late 1960s. Graves will discuss why schools have been fierce battlegrounds in the fight for LGBTQ+ civil rights.
