LGBTQIA+ Panel at The Lang School, NYC

Today, Monday, June 12th, The Lang School, a school for twice-exceptional learners in lower Manhattan, hosted an LGBTQIA+ panel of activists and advocates in celebration of Pride Month. For this occasion, they hung small Tolerance Posters throughout the school. 

Speaking on the panel were Father Matt from Trinity Church, Julian, David, and I. The panel was organized and moderated by Camille Giordano. 

"The Lang School educates twice-exceptional (2e) children — gifted students with learning differences. We offer these highly promising learners a rigorous, child-centered, empirically validated education with integrated supports that foster independence and self-advocacy. We model and teach students to own their impact and empower them to speak up and stand up for equity and social justice. For most people, the school years are about fitting in, while adulthood is about standing out; for 2e children, standing out comes early. At Lang, through the nurturing of purpose, passion, and talent, exceptionality is not only recognized but celebrated." – From The Lang School Website
