At the NEA SOGI meeting

Some pictures:


Around the table...



Joplin, who survived white wine a rum drink at dinner and three white Russians... but just barely.

At NEA SOGI in DC

That's National Education Association's Committee on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identification in Washington, DC ... where I am!

Transcripts of testamonies from an LGBT summit in Chicago had been reviewed by the committee and NEA staff developed a summit report. The document will be a powerful document. The stories of homeless LGBT students was particularly powerful. Adding this to the stories of testamonies form students at Harvey Milk School the report will put important issues in a real world context.

We have reviewed the comments from hearings on GLBT issues held at NEA's 2008 Convention and an ESP Conference.

Members of the committee are about to report back on various issues assigned to them under the charges presented at our fall meeting.
