Description: Challenging Silence, Challenging Censorship blends BGLTT rhetoric with reality at the individual, institutional, and societal level. Thus it grounds the human right to dignity; to education; to equality of opportunity; to participate in the cultural life of the community; to protection from torture or cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment; to peaceful assembly and association; and, to free development of personality in the everyday world of Canadian K-12 schools and public libraries. Authors Schrader and Wells have painstakingly presented their groundbreaking scholarship in practical and accessible terms. All stakeholders in our national educational and cultural networks have a collective moral responsibility to read--and to act--on the knowledge shared in this exceptional book. In these pages, you will find one of the clearest conditions for the development of a democratic education system in Canada.
