Abstract

"this just in" piece reporting that Maine schools are failing when it comes to protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students, according to a report from the Washington, D.C.-based Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSSEN). But Betsy Smith, executive director of Equality Maine, said Maine would have gotten a higher score if GLSSEN hadn't relied on dated data. Smith also points out that the report ignores the popular civil rights teams that are in as many as 260 Maine schools, and also did not recognize the state's domestic partner laws.
