Kansas

According to the 2019 GLSEN Kansas School Climate survey, just over half of Kansas students say they have access to LGBTQ-related library resources at school.

Just 12% of Kansas students say they were taught positive representations of LGBTQ people, history, or events at school. A collection of texts that positively represent LGBTQ+ characters and historical figures is critical for any school to be an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students and those with LGBTQ+ family members.
