Happy Back to School Season! While this time should be one of excitement for students of the year of learning to come, for Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+, and same-gender loving (LGBTQ+/SGL) students, it is a time of anxiety as they could be entering a school community that is not supportive or welcoming. This is due to a recent wave of anti-Black, anti-CRT, and anti-LGBTQ+/SGL bills introduced this year.
For concerned and caring adults, parents, and educators looking for more information on this subject, NBJC has created a Back to School Toolkit. This toolkit provides statistics on the harmful bills recently introduced and passed, their effect on our babies, and resources for students, parents, educators, and other caregivers.
