Let’s Talk Science opposes any call for the removal of 2SLGBTQ+ educational content from or erasure of 2SLGBTQ+ identities within schools. Schools must be safe and nurturing places for everyone; this is especially critical for children as they develop their own identity. Education should be inclusive and affirming for children and youth, allowing them to feel safe and valued as they build towards a future where they are respected and empowered.
