HRC’s Back-to-School Tips: Add LGBTQ Topics to Math Problems, Check Pronouns
By Lauretta Brown | August 17, 2016
(CNSNews.com) – The Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) “Welcoming Schools Initiative” 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 or Alan Turing.”
“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'.”
Another tip emphasizes the need to remind students that “they can follow their interests, and make this especially clear when your students are picking between activities that are often gendered.” [
