Friday April 28th is the Day of Silence — a national student-led movement highlighting the silencing and erasure of LGBTQ+ people. 82% of LGBTQ+ students experienced first-hand harassment or bullying in their school. 71% of students reported that their classrooms did not include any LGBTQ+ topics. More than 30% of LGBTQ+ students reported missing school because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Over half of all LGBTQ+ students of color experienced in person victimization based on race/ethnicity. If you would like to participate and help break the silence around the attacks in LGBTQ+ students, sign-ups will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday during lunches.  Please contact Ilana Malone (ilmalone@seattleschools.org) for more information.
