Self-recognition of gay and lesbian adolescents is typically met with intense conflicts with their social environment, many times in the school environment. Yet even though these conflicts arise, those who hide their sexual orientation spend a tremendous amount of energy restricting their interactions with others. If a school were to restrict an adolescent from coming out, this could cause great damage to the adolescent. Recognition and respect towards all individuals is necessary to maintain social dynamics with the student body.
Our country's culture is very diverse, whether it be regarding sexual orientation or the many different languages citizens speak. Our education system needs to be accomadating in every way. Bilingual programs need to be offered in every school. We spend more money keeping people in jail than in educating students. Education conducted in English only limits many from getting the education they deserve in our country. The education of students helps to create better citizens, and shouldn't everyone be given that chance?
