This review is from: School's Out: Impact of Gay and Lesbian Issues on America's Schools (Paperback)
Woog has written a truly wonderful book. It is a direct back hand to the outrageous notion that there are no gay people in todays education. Through a series of interviews, Woog tells the story of gay students, teachers and educators who came out in school and have worked to educated others. America has this great notion that their schools are gay free, but this book slaps them all in the face. If your an educator, student, straight or gay, i think you'll find this book is filled with great insight and knowledge. No matter what sexuality you are.

Overall,this is an resource for anyone to keep on hand,especially if you know anyone struggling with their homosexuality.The passages give personal accounts of coming to terms with accepting homosexuality as an integral part of ones life.The stories tend to have positive outcomes for the individuals,which could prove to be beneficial for those who have had less than favorable response to thier lifestyles.In the final section,organizations are discussed,thier beginnings as well as the various ways they can be of assistance,not only gay and lesbian teachers and students,but the straight community as well.

This book was a series of true stories about gay and lesbian kids, teachers, counselors, coaches, and principals. It brought home the issues surrounding the plight of gay's in our school. It also gave some programs that have been started around the country. Excellent look into what g/l's have to deal with everyday in our school.
