Schools Out Blog :: Czech gov't issues homophobia handbook to schools

The Czech Republic government has issued a handbook called "Homophobia in Schools" to elementary- and high-school teachers to help them combat anti-gay bullying, radio.cz reported.

"Young people laugh at different things, not only at gays and lesbians - that's part of the youth culture, but I think the role of schools and teachers should be to talk about this, to talk about homosexuality, to discuss it with students and show them that this is not correct," said Lucie Otahalova, head of the secretariat of the Government Council for Human Rights.

Studies have found that up to 75 percent of Czech students have negative attitudes toward gays and lesbians.
