Engage your students in Pride Month

This Pride, let's celebrate LQBTQ+ students.


In a past podcast we met Oliver and heard the story of her own gender identity journey. Through a new podcast, we check in with Oliver as more states consider laws restricting gender-affirming care and transgender participation in sports. Recently Oliver’s sister, Everly spoke out against such laws in her home state of Missouri. This version is geared more towards younger audiences. The second version is the same podcast but with the addition of Katherine (Oliver and Everly’s mom) speaking to the parent perspective as she watches legislation being debated around her daughter’s identity and how she can express herself.
