Just days after Christmas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention republished a 'self-assessment tool' urging teachers, administrators, school health staff, and others to become an 'awesome ally' by advocating for LGBTQ+ causes in school.
The document cites multiple LGBTQ+ activist groups, including a division of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
The CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health posted on Twitter on Tuesday saying, “School administrators: Our LGBTQ inclusivity self-assessment tool can help you quickly gauge inclusivity at your school. See your score today and learn ways to increase inclusivity.”
The document, 'LGBTQ Inclusivity in Schools: A Self-Assessment Tool,' appears on the CDC’s youth website in a section 'For Schools' and under the drop-down 'Tools for Supporting LGBTQ Youth.'
The tool includes four assessments, one each for all users, administrators, educators, and school health services staff. The tool includes three scores: 'Commit to Change,' 'Beginning to Break Through,' and 'Awesome Ally.'
The document notes that it includes resources from nongovernmental organizations 'focused on improving school inclusivity' and that the resources do not represent the CDC’s official opinion. The document further notes that the self-assessment tool is optional, not required, but it touts the document as “a focused, reasonable, and user-friendly approach to identify strategies to increase LGBTQ inclusivity in schools.”
