Training and Continuing Ed Resources 4-H State Leaders Readiness to Support Lesbian and Gay Youth-Assessing Leaders' Lesbian and Gay Knowledge, Homophobic Attitudes, and Best Practice Implementation: author: Jeff R.Soder; Degree: Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Human and Community Resource Development, 2009. Or as a pdf file (pdf file) This study builds upon Cooperative Extension's diversity efforts by considering 4-H state leaders' readiness to support lesbian and gay youth. Forty-seven (64%) of the 74 addressees on a national list of 4-H state leaders responded to a questionnaire on leaders' knowledge of lesbians and gays, homophobic attitudes, and practices regarding lesbian and gay youth. Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case That Made History: 40 min. film. It tells the story of Jamie Nabozny, the first gay young person ever to sue his school district for not protecting him from years of anti-gay violence at school. He won the case against 3 individual school administrators and settled for nearly $1 million. The film humanizes Jamie through his warm, genuine explanation of his childhood. It features him, having grown into a confident man and an eloquent speaker, addressing a student body. It uses a combination of interviews and reenactment to make crystal clear what happened to Jamie at the hands of his peers and the callous responses of his schools' administrators. It shows various strategies Jamie tried in order to survive, along with the efforts of his parents and some of his teachers to act as allies. The courtroom drama segment -- based on actual transcripts -- is an amazing training tool for the continuing education of educators. Every faculty meeting across the country needs to set aside time to show Bullied. And every student body needs an assembly and small group discussions about the film and about all forms of bias-based bullying. It will change norms and offer hope to young people who have been the targets of bullying. As one of his teachers says in the film, "One brave young man ...stood up for millions of others." Jamie changed his school district and other schools all over the country. Jamie himself closes the film by saying to the camera, "If I can do that, anyone can do that."
