Over the past decade, the American school environment has become slightly more receptive towards students who identify as being either lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer (LGBQ). This is, in part, thanks to the changing attitudes of teachers, who have a substantial influence on school culture. In a new study published in Springer’s journal Social Psychology of Education, William Hall and Grayson Rodgers of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the US, document the attitudes of American teachers nationwide towards the LGBQ community.
