November 19, 2007 -- The New York Times bestselling author, JL King

and safety in schools for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT)
students.  The book was released and well received by more than 1,000
educators at the National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE) 2007
conference where King was a keynote speaker.  The book shocked attendees
and caused alarmed to the lack of equitable education for sexual minority
youth.

Everyday a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender (GLBT) student is
physically, sexually or orally harassed in public school systems in the
United States.  Homophobia interferes with the development and wellness of
students, particularly in a formal setting.  It takes all educators,
administration, faculty and staff to support and promote tolerance in
schools.  By challenging readers to take action against homophobia,
heterosexism and HIV/AIDS “Sexual Orientation and its Impact on Schools”
is intended to bring awareness and, promote social justice, diversity and
inclusion.
