Francis, Ph.D., Member Executive Committee, American Friends Service Committee, Great Lakes Region. ?Educators and consumers serious about safe schools issues need this book.

Larney focuses on bullying?experienced by actual and perceived LGBT youth?that has the potential for ruining lives and fomenting violence in school-age populations.?-Florence McArdle, Ph.D., School Psychologist. ?As a mother of three school-aged boys, the degrading labels I hear of that are used by the school bullies are almost always homophobic.
