6. Creating an Inviting Classroom for All Students: Inviting Teachers to Learn About LGBTQ Diversity.

Author

Abstract

According to the American School Counselor Association, diversity includes not only the usual understandings regarding differences but also those related to gender identity. Teachers should recognize that classroom diversity contributes to the richness of a classroom culture in which all students are respected and recognized as important contributors, no matter who they are, where they come from, or how they identify themselves. Teachers' support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (LGBTQ; Poteat, Yoshikawa, Calzo, Russell, & Horn, 2017) students has a direct impact on the amount of minority stress (Swank, Frost, & Fahs, 2012) experienced by these students, which may complicate students' ability to function or learn in an unsupportive classroom environment. The authors provide several specific recommendations for teachers and staff to assure that classrooms and schools are inclusive, inviting, welcoming, and safe places where all students, including LGBTQ students, can learn.

Abstract

The article reports on the decision of New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to serve online social networking site Facebook with a writ of subpoena for its failure to respond to complaints about sexual predators and inappropriate content on its site. In a statement, the New York Attorney General's office said it had tested Facebook's safety controls and found them inadequate to protect underage users, despite the company's claim that it is a safer alternative to MySpace. Despite the security allegations, Microsoft reportedly wants a minority stake piece in the Palo Alto, California-based company, seeking to buy up to 5 percent of the company for $300 million to $500 million.

Subjects
*VENTURE capital, *INVESTMENTS, *INTERNET domain names
Abstract

The article deals with the contradiction in the investment decision of Starbucks chairman and founder Howard Schultz. He decided to invest into two companies with opposing missions: one that engages in so-called typosquatting, the buying of Internet domain names that closely resemble big brand names, and another that combats it. Schultz's venture capital firm, Maveron and H. Ross Perot's investment arm invested $38 million into iREIT, a company that has been accused of typosquatting by telecom giant Verizon. But Maveron also invested in Citizen-Hawk, which makes software that helps trademark holders identify typosquatters and initiate legal action against them.
