Format:  Report

Description: A set of three collaborative reports between GSA Network and Crossroads Collaborative connected to LGBTQ Youth and School Pushout released in 2014. The findings in these reports discuss how LGBTQ and gender non-conforming youth, especially youth of color, disproportionately face not just bullying from peers but more policing, harsher restrictions, and discipline from school staff and administration. These reports are also accompanied by a small handout created by the Advancement Project and GSA Network on policy recommendations to help change the strenuous school climate for these youths.
