Dear Safe Schools members and friends ...

Check out a terrific new training tool on the Safe Schools Coalition's website (http://www.safeschools-wa.org), entitled "What Does It Really Mean to "Affirm" Versus "Promote "? by Evonne Hedgepeth, Ph.D.

Administrators who develop specific programs or non-discrimination policies to address the unique needs or realities of GLBT youth, clients or employees often fear they will be accused of "promoting homosexuality."

Dr. Evonne Hedgepeth has created a simple, elegant tool to explain the difference between AFFIRMING a group (or affirming respect for diversity in general) and PROMOTING a particular group.
