HRC’s Back-to-School Tips: Add LGBTQ Topics to Math Problems, Check Pronouns
(CNSNews.com) – The Human Rights Campaign’s [1] (HRC) “Welcoming Schools Initiative [2]” released back-to-school tips for educators Tuesday that include introducing LGBTQ topics into math word problems and "checking in on each other’s pronouns twice a year" to increase “accountability.”
The tip to integrate LGBTQ topics into everyday lessons includes a suggestion to “make sure that you suggest some LGBTQ people that your class can study such as Harvey Milk [3] or Alan Turing [4].”
“Creating word problems?” the HRC classroom guide asks. “Rather than asking students to calculate the speed of a car carrying ‘Gabby and her mom and dad,’ ask them to calculate the speed of a car carrying ‘Gabby and her two moms'.”
