This document proposes a policy to protect transgender students in the Francis Howell School District. It summarizes research finding high rates of suicide ideation and attempts among transgender youth due to lack of safety and acceptance in schools. Currently, the district has no protections for transgender students in its non-discrimination or bullying policies. The proposed policy would outline protections for privacy, inclusion of transgender students in gender-segregated activities and facilities, dress codes, and explicit inclusion of gender identity and expression in anti-discrimination policies. Adopting this policy is necessary to improve safety and protect transgender students.
The document summarizes research on the effects of gay parents on their children. It discusses studies finding that children of gay parents show similar psychological and social development as children with straight parents. It then describes a case study of a 22-year-old man named Brandon who was raised by lesbian parents. Interviews with Brandon found he was well-adjusted emotionally and socially, with mainly positive relationships and views of his upbringing, supporting the hypothesis that parental sexual orientation does not negatively impact child development. However, larger and more controlled studies would be needed to generalize these findings.
Genetic sexual attraction (GSA) refers to sexual attraction between close genetic relatives, such as siblings or cousins, who meet for the first time as adults. The term was coined in the late 1980s by Barbara Gonyo to describe her experiences helping reunited relatives in adoption support groups. GSA is attributed to factors like assortative mating preferences for similar physical and personality traits that relatives share due to their genetic similarity. However, relatives raised together from an early age are desensitized to sexual attraction due to the Westermarck effect, which may have evolved to prevent inbreeding. While rare, there are documented cases of GSA resulting in long-term relationships and children between relatives who reunited as adults.
This document discusses sex education in the United States. It provides an overview of the current approaches, including abstinence-only education which stems from Puritan values that became ingrained in American society. Comprehensive sex education is rising as an approach but the U.S. still lags in sexual health outcomes for teens compared to other developed nations. Improving sex education policy by learning from foreign approaches may help address the high rates of teen pregnancy and STIs in the U.S.
Homosexuality refers to romantic or sexual attraction between members of the same sex. It is one of three main categories of sexual orientation, along with bisexuality and heterosexuality. Most major psychological and health organizations state that homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality. While some religious groups teach that homosexual activity is sinful, homosexual relationships have been both accepted and condemned in different cultures throughout history.
This document summarizes arguments for and against gay parenting. It notes that as many as 13 million children currently live with a gay or lesbian parent. Research suggests that children of gay parents differ only minimally from those of heterosexual parents and may be more tolerant. However, some argue that children are better off with married, heterosexual parents and risk exposure to a "homosexual lifestyle." The document acknowledges methodological flaws in some studies and calls for more longitudinal research on diverse family arrangements and the support networks around them.
Polygamy, meaning having more than one spouse at a time, most commonly takes the form of polygyny, where a man is married to multiple women. The Mormon church practiced polygamy until 1890 but then outlawed it. The Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints still allow polygamy today. Warren Jeffs led the FLDS until 2011 and had over 70 wives. Polygamist societies isolate themselves and exert control over populations by banishing young males and giving young girls in marriage. Problems include abuse, inbreeding causing health issues in children, and suspicions of infanticide.

This document discusses theories of gender identity development. It notes that while biology and heredity play a role, environmental factors are also important. Gender identity generally forms early in childhood through social learning from caregivers. The document examines multiple theories for the development of sexual orientation, such as prenatal hormone exposure, the fraternal birth order effect, and genetic influences. However, none of the theories fully explain gender identity and sexuality remains complex with biological and social influences.

Pedophilia case in the world increased by year, the victim was the child. Pedophilia is a sexual interest to the prepubescent children, reflected in thoughts, fantasies, sexual arousal and behaviour. Pedophile can interact with community, because they can mingle with the community. Pedophilia caused by not supported maturity experience in childhood and traumatic sexual abuse caused by the adult. The traumatic can-not be cured in short term, and may caused psychological disorder for a long term. The sentenced for pedophile in each country usually come with jailed depend on the act of pedophile to the victims, chemical castration, and death sentenced. The prevention of pedophilia case can be solve with; maternalistic parenting integrated with live skill education in elementary school.
The document summarizes the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education. It discusses how Linda Brown, a black schoolgirl in Topeka, Kansas, was denied admission to her local white school in violation of her 14th amendment rights. The NAACP helped Brown's family challenge the "separate but equal" policy of the Topeka school district. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, overturning the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision and dismantling the legal basis for racial segregation in schools and other public facilities.
The document summarizes arguments against allowing gay couples to adopt or raise children. It claims that children raised by gay couples will be confused about their sexual identity, exposed to an abnormal atmosphere, and face discrimination in society outside the gay community. It also asserts that children of gay couples are more likely to experience same-sex attraction.
Lesbian refers to a woman attracted to other women. Gay refers to a man attracted to other men. Bisexual refers to attraction to both males and females. Transgender is a general term for those whose gender identity differs from their birth sex. Several myths about LGBT people are dispelled by facts, including that homosexuality is not an illness that can be cured and that one's sexual orientation is determined early in life, not by seduction. While LGBT people experience higher rates of mental health issues and substance abuse, this is due to societal stress rather than sexual orientation itself.
The Adoption Process for Gay and Lesbian CouplesAllyson Lindsey
The document discusses the adoption process for gay and lesbian couples, noting that it is an arduous process involving home studies, background checks, interviews and costs that can range from $0-$40,000 depending on the type of adoption. It provides an overview of different adoption options, the legal landscape for same-sex adoption by state, and resources available to help offset adoption costs.
A brief look at the basics of the Brown v Board of Eduction, Topeka, Kansas, that ended segregation of public schools in the United States "with all deliberate speed."
This paper aims to examine whether children raised by same-sex couples differ in outcomes compared to those raised by heterosexual couples. The author hypothesizes that with love and support, children adopted by same-sex couples will succeed in life equally to those adopted by heterosexual couples. The purpose is to educate people who oppose same-sex adoption by reviewing research showing children in same-sex households are well-adjusted. While some argue children may prefer two mothers or fathers, the conclusion is that parental gender has no significant impact - what matters most is providing children with love, support, nurturing and open communication.
Prof.dr. halit hami öz sociology-chapter 12-gender, sex, and sexualityProf. Dr. Halit Hami Öz
This document discusses gender, sex, and sexuality. It begins by differentiating between sex, which refers to biological characteristics, and gender, which refers to social or cultural distinctions between masculine and feminine. It then discusses gender identity and the concepts of transgender, transsexual, and homosexual identities. It provides examples of gender roles and socialization in American culture. It also discusses the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation.
Domestic violence can have lasting negative impacts on children that were exposed to it. Witnessing abuse as a child can shape behaviors by teaching children to keep family secrets, get what they want through aggression and manipulation, and that love means getting hurt. Many of these children struggle with criminal behavior as adolescents and adults due to not having a stable home environment or parental guidance. Research shows that 68% of incarcerated adult males reported some form of childhood abuse or neglect. Breaking the cycle of domestic violence is important to prevent its harmful effects from persisting across generations.
About 1 in 43 American infants are physically abused or neglected, with over 91,000 babies under age 1 being physically abused or neglected annually. The main types of child abuse are physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. Neglect can include a lack of basic needs like food, clothing, and housing, as well as maternal drug use. Physical abuse includes actions like beating, kicking, biting, burning, and shaking infants and children. Many abused children are hurt by parents and family members. In 2006 alone, 499 babies under age 1 were killed as a result of maltreatment. The document calls for readers to help abused children and provides a child abuse hotline number.
Remembering the Pink Triangle by Dr. Lisa Van ZwollLisa Van Zwoll
This document provides a summary of an LGBTQ+ human rights presentation given by Dr. Lisa Van Zwoll at FSCJ Human Rights Week. The presentation covered the history of human rights for LGBTQ+ individuals, including the origins of the pink triangle used to label gay prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. It discussed key events like the Stonewall riots and repeal of sodomy laws. The presentation also reviewed current issues like the situation facing gay people in Chechnya and laws impacting transgender rights around the world. Local resources for the LGBTQ+ community were provided.
Twenty states still allow corporal punishment in schools, where students are paddled by teachers and principals. In the 2006-2007 school year, over 200,000 students were paddled. Students in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia account for three-quarters of all cases of corporal punishment. Studies show that corporal punishment is an ineffective form of discipline that can have negative physical and mental health effects on students.
E1a1 biological explanations for criminalityAarono1979
1. The document examines several biological explanations for criminality, including family and twin studies that compare criminal tendencies between relatives who share genes versus environment.
2. Family and twin studies provide some evidence that criminality may be genetically linked, as identical twins were both criminal over 50% of the time, compared to 22% for non-identical twins.
3. However, the evidence is inconclusive as chromosome studies of criminals found no definitive "criminal gene" and not all individuals with chromosome abnormalities exhibited criminal behaviors. Genetics may interact with environment and upbringing.
EFFECT OF PARENTS’ INFLUENCE ON SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR AMONG STUDENTS IN SECONDAR...paperpublications3
Abstract:Increased sexual liberty and early initiation of adolescents into sexual activities have led to irresponsible and risky sexual behaviors among the adolescents. However, regardless of the availability of various sources of information about sexuality and reproduction, the adolescents are yet to adopt safe sexual behaviors. This has raised questions about the effects of parents on sexual behaviors among adolescent students. This study sought to investigate the effects parents' influence on the sexual behaviors among students in secondary schools in Nyahururu Division, Laikipia County. This study adopted an ex post facto research design. A random sample, of 338 respondents, was chosen from the seven randomly selected schools. Data was collected through administration of a structured questionnaire to the selected respondents. The collected data was then processed and analyzed descriptively using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17 for Windows. The content validity of the research instrument was established by ascertaining that it contained information that answered the research objectives. The instrument was piloted to ensure reliability and it gave a reliability coefficient of 0.82. The study finding indicated that most parents encouraged their adolescent children to have good sexual behaviors. They, however, lacked effective communication skills to pass their good intentions to their adolescent children and thus making their discussions on sexual matters boring and uninteresting. The study recommends the need for parents to adopt effective communication skills that could enable them pass their good sexual intentions to their adolescent children.

Black children are three times more likely than white children to be labeled mentally retarded according to a Harvard study. A Thomas B. Fordham Foundation study found that the whiter the school district and teaching staff, the higher the percentage of black and Hispanic children placed into special education programs. The key disparity is a failure to grasp cultural differences. Special education referrals are disproportionately high for minority students, and schools have financial incentives to broadly define disabilities and classify more students as such to receive additional state and federal funds.
The document defines homosexuality as romantic or sexual attraction between members of the same sex. It discusses how homosexuality is currently viewed in the Philippines, with increasing tolerance but no legislation supporting same-sex marriage passed. Religiously, most traditions discourage homosexual activities. Public opinion polls show around half of Filipinos believe homosexual relations should be illegal and oppose related rights. Acceptance of homosexuality is more common in wealthy countries where religion plays a less central role.
Research Proposal - Perceived Parenting StylesThomas Epling
This study aims to determine the parenting styles most associated with homelessness by surveying 100 homeless and 100 non-homeless individuals. It will use a validated questionnaire measuring Baumrind's authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles. The researcher predicts permissive parenting will be most correlated with homelessness and that significant differences will exist between the two groups' perceived parenting. Findings could help social workers better understand and treat homeless populations.
This document discusses gender identity and sexuality. It defines key terms like gender, sex, transgender, transsexual, and sexual orientation. It notes that gender refers to whether one identifies as male or female, while sex is defined biologically. It also discusses the struggles that LGBTQ individuals face with discrimination, religious conflicts, and fear of coming out. The document advocates for greater acceptance of all people regardless of their gender or sexuality.

This document discusses a qualitative study on how same-sex relationships at De La Salle University influence future family planning methods. It includes definitions of key terms, background on same-sex relationships and LGBT rights in the Philippines. The study conducted semi-structured interviews with 6 students currently in same-sex relationships. Interview findings showed that relationships ranged from 1 to 1.5 years, some families were aware and supportive while others were not, and couples discussed future plans like living together but not marriage or children due to the illegality of same-sex unions in the Philippines.
The document discusses three main types of victimized juvenile delinquents: bully victims who engage in violence due to past victimization, property delinquent victims more closely associated with property crimes, and delinquent sex victims who experienced past sexual victimization and engage in above average delinquency. Victimized children tend to be more prone to delinquent behavior compared to non-victimized children, and those who experienced indirect victimization as juveniles may be more likely to experience victimization as adults. The apparent correlation between various types of past victimization and subsequent delinquent acts is explored.
This document discusses variables related to the male and female prison populations in the United States. It provides statistics on ethnic populations, age, gender, sentences, security levels, offenses, and mental health of inmates. A survey was also conducted of students in a sociology class about these topics. The survey results showed that students were most accurate in their responses about the total US inmate population, the average inmate age, the percentage of the population that is male inmates, and the percentage of female prison officers.
The document discusses the "school-to-prison pipeline", where policies push students out of school and into the criminal justice system. Zero tolerance policies and increased police presence in schools have led to high suspension and expulsion rates for students of color. This phenomenon is part of the larger problem of mass incarceration in the US, which disproportionately impacts people of color. To combat this, educators must teach about mass incarceration and the school-to-prison pipeline, and build student-centered classrooms focused on empowerment rather than standardized testing. The movement to transform education and end the school-to-prison pipeline are intertwined and must work together.

This document discusses sexuality and disabilities, addressing common myths and challenges. It notes that approximately 12.4% of Canadians have a disability. Myths include beliefs that those with disabilities are not sexual or cannot have "real" sex. Children with disabilities often learn of their disability before seeing themselves as sexual. Studies suggest 36-52% of adolescents with physical disabilities in the US have had sexual intercourse. Resources for discussing these topics in the classroom are provided.
School to prison pipeline and the juvenile justice pptestee33
The document discusses the school-to-prison pipeline and its disproportionate impact on girls of color. It notes that zero-tolerance policies and increased police presence in schools have led to high rates of suspensions and arrests for minor infractions. For black girls in particular, the data shows they are 6 times more likely to be suspended than white girls. The document shares the story of Tanisha, who was arrested in school and sent to juvenile hall for a fight, and describes the traumatic conditions she experienced while detained.
The document discusses intersectionality and experiences with discrimination. It describes intersectionality as examining social issues by comparing experiences of different social identities. The author recalls witnessing discrimination against others as a child for their nationality, religious dress, or appearance. They also received occasional comments about their biracial hair. A YouTube video showed more aggressive reactions to a Black man breaking a bike versus a white man or woman. The document argues that societal perspectives on race and gender stem from what people are exposed to, potentially resulting in discrimination.
The first presentation for a course on child rights and protection. This covers the basic issues, parameters, and challenges faced by children globally.
Dr. Terrie Moffitt's research identified two types of criminal offenders - life-course-persistent (LCP) offenders who begin criminal behavior early in life and continue into adulthood, and adolescent-limited (AL) offenders whose criminal behavior is confined to adolescence. Researchers agree that high-risk youth can be accurately identified at an early age. Criminal behavior may be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, such as family adversity, parenting practices, and socioeconomic status. Psychological theories view criminal behavior as resulting from problems in thinking processes, while biological theories suggest genetic or neurological factors may predispose individuals to criminal behavior.
This document provides background information and context for a study on juvenile delinquency in the Philippines. It discusses:
- The author's experience working with children in the Philippines and founding Barner Learning Center (BLC) to help at-risk youth.
- An analytical framework that examines nature vs. nurture theories of juvenile delinquency and relevant local factors.
- The study will focus on 21 at-risk students at BLC and examine their characteristics and the interventions used to prevent criminal behavior.
- The significance of understanding at-risk youth and intervening early to help them develop into productive citizens rather than criminals.
This document discusses several topics related to the education of youths serving long prison sentences:
1. It outlines federal mandates requiring that incarcerated youth receive regular and special education services according to federal disability and public education laws.
2. It provides examples of specific state rules in Arizona and New York regarding the separation and education of juvenile inmates.
3. It discusses challenges such as low enrollment of juvenile lifers in educational programs and the transition from receiving educational services to aging out of the system.

Homeless youth face significant barriers to completing their education. They have high rates of poverty, abuse, neglect, family conflict, substance abuse, mental health issues, pregnancy, and involvement in dangerous survival activities like drug dealing, prostitution, and sex work. As a result, homeless youth struggle academically and have much lower graduation rates than housed youth. Particular groups like LGBTQ youth and those aging out of foster care are especially vulnerable. Programs and policies aim to help homeless youth access education services and overcome challenges to complete their schooling, but many still fall through the cracks due to complex individual circumstances and systemic barriers.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

A 2014 Propublica investigation of (US) federal
data found that restraint and seclusion was
used more than 267,000 times nationwide in
the 2012 school year, and that three-quarters of
the students restrained—often by being tied up
or strapped to a chair with materials such as
bungee cords and duct tape—had physical,
emotional, or intellectual disabilities.
