The Michigan Department of Education believes schools should provide students with GSA’s. (Student led Gay Straight Alliance, or Genders and Sexualities Alliance). In addition, they instruct school personnel how to keep student participation in GSA’s a secret from their parents. This is highly concerning.

The Equal Access Act of 1984 prohibits federally-funded public secondary schools which allow non-school-sponsored groups of students to meet from discriminating against any meeting of students on the basis of religious content if: (1) the meeting is voluntary and student initiated; (2) there is no government sponsorship; and (3) no unlawful activity is permitted.
GHAPS and schools across the country are hiding behind this law by stating GSA’s are student-led, when in reality they are led by staff with support from the national organization GLSEN
The Michigan Department of Education assembled a team of experts called the MDE LGBTQ Student Project, who put together a series of trainings, recordings and resources to support LGBTQIA+ students. The videos provide numerous recommendations from The State of Michigan for schools and school personnel in relation to dealing with LGBTQ students.
The complete series of videos is called Pride in Diversity.
