Professionals in education, mental health, and gender studies should be required to read this thoughtful, factual investigation into the lives of children. The voices of students, coupled with suggestions for programmatic and systemic means for combating homophobia complete this account of real lives in the public schools at the dawn of the new millennium. With a background in clinical psychology, the author infuses a mental health lens into the accounts offered by children — gay and straight alike — about what it means to be in the homophobic environment of public schools. The book can be used as a resource for students and parents, as well as anyone who works with children in any capacity.
