Ending hate language begins in kindergarten

I started my teaching career at an elementary school in my hometown, Des Moines, Iowa. At the time, the school district, which already protected GLBT staff and students with an anti-discrimination policy, was under fire for a proposal to incorporate GLBT stories into its multicultural curriculum. The proposal would ultimately fail, but I knew I would not lie about who I was to my students. I didn't want other children to experience the hate language I had as a child.
