welcomes Dr. Robert McGarry, Shelbi Day and Lee Wind.
Three panelists presented to an engaged audience at the Henry Madden Library on Wednesday evening, May 1, 2012. Each speaker presented experienced, informative and varying perspectives regarding the FAIR Education Act.
Shelbi Day, staff attorney in the Western Regional Office of Lambda Legal, did a great job at explaining the law behind the Act and the reasons for the Act. Her passion on the topic and willingness to translate the evolution of the law with a non - lawyer audience created understanding and awareness.
In addition, Dr. Robert McGarry, director of education for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, was a wonderful speaker, centering his talk on the value of respecting difference.. His message reflected the impact on students when people are left out of the textbooks in describing our history.
And finally, Dr. Lee Wind, author, speaker, and official blogger for the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators was a brilliant speaker as well. His ability to engage with the audience, get us to interact and bring the program around full-circle was a successful effort towards a content rich event. He brought humor, love, and pizzazz into this very serious FAIR Education Act topic.
Audience questions were welcomed and discussed. And appreciation was experienced for all speakers, who have experienced and seen such difficult and even negative events in their lives and careers but continue to approach this serious FAIR Education Act topic with passion and a positive manner.
Thank you again to all our speakers for your contributions to an EXCELLENT lecture event!
