> IT'S ELEMENTARY, the groundbreaking documentary featuring frank
> discussions of gay and lesbian issues in six elementary and junior high
> schools across the country, will air for the first time on public
> television stations this June.
>
> With the recent hate killings of two gay men, Mathew Shepard in Wyoming
> and Billy Jack Gaither in Alabama, there is growing awareness of the
> need for early education about discrimination and prejudice based on
> sexual orientation. IT'S ELEMENTARY shows what most adults can't even
> imagine: that schools can address gay issues in age appropriate ways.
>
> "Schools cannot be neutral when dealing with human dignity and human
> rights," notes National Education Association President Bob Chase, head
> of the country's largest public teacher association. "I'm not talking
> about tolerance. I'm talking about acceptance. IT'S ELEMENTARY is a
> great resource for parents, teachers and community leaders working to
> teach respect and responsibility to America's children."
>
> First released in 1996, the film has been shown nationally at nearly
> 500
>
> teacher-training programs and to educators and parents at hundreds of
> schools, churches and synagogues. Last November, Chicago Public Schools
> announced an initiative to use the film for staff development and
> training in every school in the district. IT'S ELEMENTARY has won
> dozens of awards, including the CINE Golden Eagle for Best Educational
> Film.
>
> The broadcasts of IT'S ELEMENTARY are being presented by KQED/San
> Francisco via American Public Television. Broadcast dates and times
> are
> subject to change, and many stations not listed here are still
> considering airing IT'S ELEMENTARY later in the summer and early fall.
> We encourage you to get in touch with your local PBS station and urge
> them to air the film. To find out how to contact your station, go to
> http://www.pbs.org/stations/ on the web.
