Every school day thousands of young people who identify as either lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender face harassment, bullying, and even violence for simply being who they are.

The documentary film Teach Your Children Well focuses its attention on the challenging issues of homophobia and violence in our schools as directed against our L-G-B-T youth. Our primary desire with this project is to change the consciousness that leads our children to commit acts of violence, by teaching acceptance and respect for the right of others to be who they are.

It is our intention that the message of this film expands beyond theaters and film festivals, reaching into the areas where these aggressive behaviors take place: our schools, churches, homes and neighborhoods. 

Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” And you can be part of that change by supporting this film project with your tax deductable donation to the International Documentary Association, in-care of Teach Your Children Well.
