Recently, with the number of students from higher education and
K-12 settings committing suicide, it is apparent that homophobia
and homophobic bullying are tremendous problems in our schools and
universities. However, educators are unclear about an appropriate
process for addressing these challenges. In this book, Jones
postulates that we must begin exploring the culture of educational
environments as they relate to sexual difference, in order to begin
conceptualizing ways in which we may begin to address homophobia
and heteronormativity. To that end, this book addresses how
educators (at all levels) must begin examining how their concepts
about different sexual identities are "normalized" through
socializing processes and schooling. In doing so, this book
examines how individuals construct meanings about homophobia and
hate language through "contextual oppositions, " how educational
environments maintain a ''false tolerance" when claiming to be
tolerant of different sexual identities, how a hierarchy of hate
language exists in educational environments, among other issues
related to creating safe places for all students. In essence, the
book attempts to "un"normalize society's constructions of sexual
identity by deconstructing the social norms.
