Homosexuality/homophobia in education

This special is about verbal abuse in the schoolyard, about girls and boys that do not meet role expectations and are mobbed, bullied and discriminated against, or about coming out during the difficult years of puberty, a seemingly huge and impossible step. How do schools deal with these problems? Is homosexuality part of the curriculum? How do teachers manage to haul this subject into the classrooms? And what do the textbooks say?
A panel with Sandra Aebersold (school manager), Mark Jost (GLL), Antonio Russo (Klett- und Balmer-Verlag), Lukas Geiser (PHZH) and Dr. med. Susanne Stronski (chief officer school health services City of Zurich).
