students are prevalent throughout the literature. Sears (1992) calls for an extension of resistance theory by future research to better understand the lives of LGBT students (p. 155). To positively impact the school experience of LGBT youth their plight must become a focus of researchers and evaluators alike.

However, I personally find those who break with the conformist nature of our contemporary society the most inspirational, those who challenge our understanding of what is supposedly considered “normal”.

political science major, and I loved it because every course taught me something new and exciting about the structure of governments, the ideologies of foreign countries, or the norms and customs of any given culture.

recent decades due to the increased focus on racial tensions around the world.
