#SchoolsToo: Educators' Responsibility to Confront Sexual Violence

The new Spring 2018 issue of Rethinking Schools discusses the ongoing, persistent verbal and physical violence against women, youth, and LGBTQ communities that has not been adequately addressed in most schools. Instead of educating children and youth about gender equity and sexual harassment, schools often create a culture that perpetuates stigma, shame, and silence.
