Ask A Queer Educator

Doxing is not just a buzzword; it's a real and terrifying weapon used to silence and intimidate educators, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community. On this episode of Teaching While Queer, we bring to light the heart-wrenching stories of queer educators who have been targeted by online conservative groups. Hear firsthand accounts from a lesbian couple in Indiana whose lives were upended after appearing on our podcast, leading to relentless harassment and threats. This episode underscores the urgent need for safe and supportive environments where queer educators can thrive without fear.
