Survey Reflects Maine Students Optimistic And Ambitious, But Feeling Effects Of National Educational And Social Concerns, Kay Hyatt

General University of Maine Publications

Maine students are optimistic, think hard work is essential to success and view their parents as strong, positive influences in their lives, according to preliminary results from a University of Maine survey of more than 20,000 sixth through 12th graders representing 111 schools and every county in the state. The early data also suggest that student perceptions of their schools, teachers, peers and social experiences, are less positive, and there is an increasing disconnection between parents and schools as students advance in grade.

Spelling Instruction Reform Topic Of Umaine Conference, Kay Hyatt

General University of Maine Publications

While many education trends come and go, one issue remains a constant concern for teachers, administrators and parents—teaching spelling well in elementary schools.

State Should Support Equal Marriage, The Maine Campus Editorial Position Board

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Yesterday, we heard both sides of the same-sex marriage debate making their case in Augusta. Those arguments have convened us that marriage equality, as it is proposed in Sen. Dennis Damon's bill, LD 1020, poses no threat to Maine's straight marriages or to its religious faithful.

Equality And The Miss Usa Pageant, Rhiannon Sawtelle

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Here is my embarrassing admission for the week: I watched the Miss USA pageant last Sunday. My roommate and I criticized the women, picked our favorites and hoped one of them would trip on stage. We made it through the swimsuit competition, the evening gown walk and held our breaths when the time came for questioning. Miss California, a blonde Barbie® look-alike, took the stage and by the luck of the draw was questioned by Perez Hilton, a gay gossip-queen blogger. He asked her if she believed same-sex marriage should be legalized in every state.

Gss Debates Sending Wilde Stein To "Hostile" Territory, Mary Emmi

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Wilde Stein requested funds from the University of Maine General Student Senate April 21 for a bus to the Augusta hearing of the gay-marriage bill. It was a request that would send students to a "potentially hostile environment" if granted, Sen. Sean Rankin said.

Sex Matters: In Honor Of "Pride Week" At The University Of Maine, Sandra L. Caron

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

This week our university is celebrating "Pride Week" in an attempt to educate and honor gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered issues. There are a number of programs planned throughout the week. This time provides us with an opportunity for education, as well as reflection and discussion. In his writing, "Homophobia on the College Campus," Brian McNaught (author of "On Being Gay," "Gay Issues in the Workplace," and "Now That I'm Out, What Do I Do?") provides us with a list of questions to prompt such a discussion. A sampling of these questions are listed below. As you read each one, …

Bodybuilder Recounts Struggles Of Being Gay, Debra Hatch

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Bob Paris' image as "Mr. Universe" and "Mr. America" depended on his masculinity, but it all changed when he announced he was gay. Paris had intended his statement to Ironman magazine to be one speaking about love and commitment, not to draw attention to himself and his sexuality. Instead it destroyed his career and four year run of popularity. No athletes in the mainstream have ever come out during their career to say they were homosexual.

Disabled Seek Understanding, Acceptance, Debra Hatch

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Rose-Marie has a hard time concentrating on the things she does and is easily distracted by her surroundings. Taking math tests in a room with calculators sounds like a construction site to her, and every pencil scraping paper rings as purely in her ear as if it were right next to it.
