nnyIn a book called 'Challenging Lesbian and Gay Inequalities in Education', regarding a chapter called 'Lesbian and Gay Equality Within a Whole School Policy':
"As noted in the introduction, this chapter was commissioned and written but, at the last minute, the headteacher of the school on which it was based withdrew permission for publication, although the school was not, in fact, named in the piece. This head is concerned that her school will suffer in the 'market' if it has a strong visible equal opportunities policy. Bearing in mind the school's long record of such a policy - and one which has included lesbian and gay equality for many years - this is indicative of a major loss in the ground by education for social justice."
