Children learn kindness and tolerance from a young age. We teach them about Martin Luther King and his famous speech outlining his dream for a more equal world. We teach children about Mary Robinson being the first female president of Ireland. We teach about love and accepting everyone. Teaching children about LGBT+ identities allows us to combat bullying and ignorance. It allows our children to be well informed and educated. It allows our children to understand the vocabulary that they are hearing and acknowledge the different types of people and different types of love.

Bullying is defined as ‘unwanted negative behaviour, verbal, psychological or physical conducted by an individual or group against another person (or persons) and which is repeated over time.’ (Anti-bullying Procedures for Primary and Post-primary Schools, DES, 2013).
