| Summary: | Affiche van een sensibiliseringscampagne tegen homofobie, uitgegeven in 1999 door Terrence Higgins Trust en Community HIV and AIDS Prevention Strategy (CHAPS).
Tekst: “Homophobes shouldn’t be left alone with kids.” Some think gay people are a bad influence on children. Others believe it's those with homophobic prejudices who provide the harmful example.
Homophobia is prejudice or discrimination against lesbians or gay men.
Many chiIdren, gay and straight, suffer homophobic abuse at school. lt's wrong to say it's "just a harmless and inevitable part of school life': This kind of bullying leads to truancy, under achievement, depression and, in extreme case, suicide. Good teachers always challenge the homophobes.
Homophobia like other forms of prejudice has no place in our schools today. As a teacher, you're in an excellent position to challenge day to day name-calling and bullying.
You could also provide support to children experiencing homophobia. And many schools are addressing homophobia within their anti-bullying policies, how about yours?
Government guidance clearly states: "Section 28 does not affect the activities of school governors, nor of teachers. lt will not prevent the objective discussion of homosexuality in the classroom, nor the counselling of pupils concerned about their sexuality."
For ideas on tackling homophobia in schools, and how you might work with parents and governors, take a look at www.tht.org.uk. lt's prejudice that's queer.
