Presents thoughts on homophobia and racism by the Safe Schools Coalition of Washington. Racial harassment is still a major problem in schools. According to a 1995 study (Seattle's Teen Health Risk Survey of 8,000+ youth) 43% of students have been the target of "offensive racial comments" or attacks at school or on the way to or from school. You really do not have to use the weapon of a racial or religious slur to make your point. Well, sometimes children of color protect their parent or guardian from knowing how bad the harassment is, too. It is true that many GLBT youths are afraid to confide in their families, sometimes for good reason, and that the cost of that isolation is very high. That's why schools need to help children who are different to feel less isolation. Finally, it is inappropriate to compare degrees of hurt. Every form of bias is uniquely hurtful, even as all bias has some things in common. |
