This all-new edition brings together stories from across America—and around the world—resulting in a rich tapestry of varied experiences. From a teacher who feels he must remain closeted in the comparative safety of New York City public schools to teachers who are out in places as far afield as South Africa and China, the teachers and school administrators in \u003ci\u003eOne Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium\u003c\/i\u003e prove that LGBT educators are as diverse and complex as humanity itself. Voices largely absent from the first two editions—including transgender people, people of color, teachers working in rural districts, and educators from outside the United States—feature prominently in this new collection, providing a fuller and deeper understanding of the triumphs and challenges of being an LGBT teacher today.\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrologue: Forget the Rest\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMzoli: Cape Town, South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART 1: SIGNS OF CHANGE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
