LGBTQ Inclusion and Exclusion in State Social Studies Standards: Implications for Critical Democratic Education
Camicia, Steven; Zhu, Juanjuan
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v21 n1-2 p7-20 2019
We examined LGBTQ inclusion in state social studies standards. Our content analysis revealed widespread exclusion as shown in the frequencies of the words "lesbian," "gay," "bisexual," and "transgender." We discussed the implications of this exclusion for LGBTQ students, as well as all students. We interpreted our findings through the lens of critical democratic education, which connects power relations with the degree of inclusion and, as a result, the legitimacy and health of democratic communities.
