Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Dayton, 2005.

For years Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) students have suffered verbal and physical abuse in the American school system. Until recently, this abuse has not only been acceptable but also condoned by teachers, administrators, and school boards across the country. However, as more and more LGBT students reveal their sexual orientation, more of them and their parents are insisting they be accorded equal legal protection. Thus, this dissertation has sought to answer the following questions: Are LGBT students safe in America's schools? If these students are not safe, what types of suffering have LGBT students in America's schools encountered? If these students are not safe, what actions have they taken to protect themselves? If these students are not safe, how can they legally safeguard their security?

520 $a For years Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) students have suffered verbal and physical abuse in the American school system. Until recently, this abuse has not only been acceptable but also condoned by teachers, administrators, and school boards across the country. However, as more and more LGBT students reveal their sexual orientation, more of them and their parents are insisting they be accorded equal legal protection. Thus, this dissertation has sought to answer the following questions: Are LGBT students safe in America's schools? If these students are not safe, what types of suffering have LGBT students in America's schools encountered? If these students are not safe, what actions have they taken to protect themselves? If these students are not safe, how can they legally safeguard their security?
520 $a To answer these questions, I consulted surveys with LGBT students to assess their view of their safety and their suffering. These surveys led to recent psychological and psychiatric studies to determine the effects of the abuse they suffered. Uncovering students' actions to safeguard themselves consistently led me to consult the legal cases of students whose last recourse was a court of law. This historical approach allowed me to ascertain the allegations of abuse these students underwent and to understand the existing laws they used either to protect themselves or to receive compensation for suffering.
520 $a I learned many LGBT students are not safe in school, many suffer physical and psychological wounds, and the United States has four major laws LGBT students can use for their protection: The First Amendment, The Fourteenth Amendment, Title IX, and The Equal Access Act. These laws require certain conditions exist, and different legal districts apply them in various ways. If a case was heard by the Supreme Court, its ruling takes precedence.
520 $a I concluded that LGBT students can take several steps to assure their safety beginning with forming Gay/Straight Alliances (GSAs) and ending with suing a school district and its administrators. School officials can also learn from these cases that initiating staff and student training along with a well-written anti-harassment policy can help protect all students.
