How do you respond when a child asks, "Can a girl turn into a boy?" What if your daughter brings home school books with sexist, racist stories? What does "queering the curriculum" look like? What's wrong with "anti-bullying" policies? What are alternatives? Rethinking Sexism, Gender, and Sexuality is a collection of inspiring stories about how to integrate feminist and LGBTQ content into curriculum, make it part of a vision for social justice, and create classrooms and schools that nurture all children and their families. Rethinking Sexism, Gender, and Sexuality is filled with insightful, inspiring articles about: Our Classrooms, Our Curriculum, When Teachers Come Out, Beyond the Classroom, Teacher Education, Continuing Education
