The LGTBQ influence (Blog Post #3)

I was baffled by what I was going to discuss in my final blog post because much of what I have discussed before has remained the same. However, this weeks readings got me thinking about what LGBTQ influences my school and classroom has. I've noticed while walking the hallways that there are many fliers around school promoting different clubs and activities that students should be involved in. However, I don't ever recall seeing any fliers for a Gay/Straight Alliance club or any type of LGBTQ club. While I haven't been in many teachers classrooms, I don't see any Ally posters around or anything that shows teacher support of LGBTQ teens. Upon scanning my CT's classroom library, there doesn't appear to be any novels that contain LGBTQ characters, settings or situations. I haven't had a chance to look at the school's library but I would be surprised to see such novels there. It shocks me that  a school that supports diversity and differences in individuals fails LGBTQ students in these respects. This realization also makes me wonder if other schools in 259 fail as well. What have you all observed in your placement?
