Congratulations RHS!

Congratulations to the staff, administration, school board and community of Ridley High School in Folsom, PA for moving in the right direction by granting full status to the Gay Straight Alliance there. Students and communities like these are daily helping educate against hate.

Less than four weeks ago Lawrence King was murdered in his classroom for being gay. Last week seventeen year old Simmie Williams was murdered in Ft. Lauderdale because he was gay. Only one year ago Ryan Keith Skipper of Winter Haven, Florida was murdered because he was gay. The perpetrators in all of these horrific murders were young men.

GSA's are helping make the necessary movement in changing hearts and changing minds against hatred.

We look forward to hearing of the good work you have begun in Pennsylvania!

We laud the work of Ms Jordan-Keller, an NEA trainer on Safe Schools, Bias, and GLBT Issues for her leadership with the RHS GSA!
