In this podcast, I interview the sponsor of Merritt Island High School’s GSA, Kaley Georgelis. We talk about the impact Florida’s new Don’t Say Gay law is having on students, the importance of a supportive administration (which MIHS definitely has), and actions that have made her school safer and more affirming.
Some of the actions she has initiated at MIHS include the designation of gender-neutral bathrooms, graduation certificates in students’ legal names and chosen names, and an intensive and immediate response to all bullying.
