Today's hostile political climate toward LGBTQIA+ youth, and queer people in general, adds a crucial layer to the work of teaching and being a teacher. Deb Cole understands this, and has developed a piece of theatre meant to immerse educators in a brief, poignant, and all too familiar narrative of casual homophobic violence -- not merely to entertain, but to engage them in grappling with their roles in preventing harm and mitigating unquestioned hate. An important piece of work. BRAVO!
