From NJ Pride:
The world is moving toward greater equality. But LGBTQ children still face backlash, bullying, and ongoing discrimination in school, from the middle grades on up through college.

Brian Edwards, M.S.Ed., coordinator of the LGBTQ Center at Montclair State University
Phillip N. Siculietano, M.A., Affirmative Action Officer, Nutley School District
Kerri McCaffrey, award-winning poet and transgender fifth grade teacher in NJ schools
Moderator: Cheryl Restaino, educator and leader of PFLAG North Jersey
Date/Time: Thurs., June 9 @ 7:30pm
