This research monograph is an exploration of students, parents and teachers experiences regarding sexuality and homophobic bullying in National (i.e., public) as well as private secondary institutions. The work discusses settings that run the gamut of tough inner city schools to historical entities with distinguished graduates and first rate instruction and provides solid research statistics as well as an historical overview of pedagogies that have been heavily influenced by religious and sectarian agendas. Gender based schools and co-ed facilities are also contrasted in relation to bullying and efforts to suppress and re-direct class and playground behaviors. European Union approached to this problem also discussed. A robust bibliography and index are included.
