Tennessee's
General Assembly wants to dumb down are children and youth even more than they are
now. They want to order our schools to indoctrinate our kids with with religion
disguised as "science". Don't let them do it!
Please Go to Gov. Haslam's Facebook Page and tell him how disappointed you are with this bills that puts religion into science classrooms across Tennessee:
The "Monkey Bill" is anti-education and anti-science. Religion has no place in science classrooms. Creationism and so-called Intelligent Design Theory are not scientific, not based in empirical evidence, and do not belong in biology, chemistry, and physics courses. Tennessee's education system is in dire need of reform. This bill doesn't help.

Think about mental health...
Did you know that 1 in 4
Americans or 54 million people has a diagnosable mental health problem?
Be proactive about your mental health! Seek the necessary
treatment—psychotherapy and/or biomedical therapy—to recapture
your optimal mental health.

Tell your elected leaders to stop their discrimination against LGBT citizens and residents of Tennessee and forcing their prejudice on our children and youth.
Safe Zone @ Columbia State CC
As
a proud member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT)
community, I definitely know how hard it is to cope effectively with the
issues and problems that are unique to our community. I "came out" when
I was 17-years-old, and although this was the most liberating event in
my life, it was only the beginning of a new journey of on-going
self-discovery. I am here as a proverbial "safe zone" to currently
enrolled Columbia State learners who may be struggling with their gender
and sexual identity or any learner who would like more information on
issues related to the LGBT community.
If
you would to talk or need guidance, feel free to stop by my office on
the Columbia main campus in the Clement Bldg. room 131 or on the
Lawrence County campus in room 116 to talk. You can also e-mail me at djackson30@columbiastate.edu.

to speak with LGBT learners and others who are interested in LGBT
issues. Vist her on the Columbia main campus in the Clement Bldg., room

If

Straight—and have ideas on how to build support for LGBT learners or
would like to take a more active role in creating an atmosphere of
acceptance for LGBT learners, for example starting a student-led
organization, feel free to contact me, Dr. Brunton, or Ms. Lacey Benns.
Either one of us would be happy to discuss your ideas further.
