NEW YORK, NY - The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and StoryCorps announced the release of Unheard Voices, a new middle and high school resource that seeks to integrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and events into middle and high school curricula.ADL, GLSEN and StoryCorps created the resource, a series of five lesson plans built around brief audio interviews with 9 people who bore witness to or helped shape LGBT history in some way, in response to the lack of representation of LGBT people in school curricula and the disproportionate incidents of bullying and violence against LGBT youth. October is LGBT History Month.

Well, if they teach it like everything else then no one should worry about anyone understanding it at all.
