Rofes makes clear distinctions between liberal and radical conceptualizations of addressing homophobia and heterosexism in k-12 schools. On the liberal side, he talked about a handful of things that had to do with others teaching and trying to help us how to deal with LGBT students. Educators are teaching us to move forwards and embrace change. First, Rofes says that social services should be advised to address the issue. They should do this to protect the students. Teachers should teach morality to students to help influence them to treat everyone equal. When I was in high school, I took a morality class and it talked a lot about equality with LGBT students. Adults must realize they should address how students are victimized and how big of an issue it is. On the radical side, Rofes talks more about making immediate changes for the good of LGBT students. He talks about how much students are victimized and how we should step forward and protect the students. We are taught to make a difference if children can actively participate in their childhood.
