 Open
Lives, Safe Schools by
Donovan R. Walling (Editor)
Written for educators and others concerned about
schooling. Effects of anti-gay discrimination on everyone. Diverse
collection of essays. Premise that everyone benefits when students,
parents, educators and others in a school community are allowed to live
openly in terms of sexual orientation. Advocates of safe schools in the
most basic sense...safe to be oneself. Good reference materials and fairly
easy (non technical) reading. -- Ann Harris
The central premise of this wide-ranging collection of
essays is that allowing students, parents, educators, and others who are
part of the school community from kindergarten through graduate school to
live openly in terms of sexual orientation is healthy for everyone. In the
final analysis, the authors of these essays are advocates of safe schools
in the most basic sense of safety: Schools should be places where it is
safe to be oneself.

 Telling
Tales Out of School by
Kevin Jennings (Editor)
In more than 30 essays, gays, lesbians, and bisexuals
look back at their school days to find that they are still trying to
unlearn a basic lesson imparted by the educational system to homosexuals:
"Hate yourself".
Telling Tales is an outstanding collection of moving
stories about being gay in school. Kevin Jennings has proven himself as an
editor with his earlier book, One Teacher in Ten, and he delivers again
here. It is relevant to anyone interested in gay and lesbian studies
and/or education. -- Anonymous Review
