Short (Univ. of Manitoba, Canada), MacDougall (Univ. of British Columbia, Canada), and Clarke (Univ. of Regina, Canada) address the delicate balance of 2SLGBTQ+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) student rights and religious freedom in Canadian schools. Through key cases and legal analysis, the authors discuss how the courts have addressed these competing rights, often in the students' favor. They discuss such issues as gay-straight alliances, transgender bathroom use, bullying, and prom and argue that schools have been reactive in dealing with 2SLGBTQ+ rights, responding only when a legal complaint is filed. Anti-bullying and similar efforts have largely failed. To succeed, schools must work on changing cultures and eliminating oppression so that 2SLGBTQ+ students are included, treated equitably, and celebrated. An entire chapter focuses on how to build community through people, including administrators, staff, and teachers; curricula; and school spaces. The authors do an excellent job of defining terminology and making the legal content accessible for lay readers. This book could serve as a practical guide for Canadian schools. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers and professionals.
