“There’s no better way to show how far we’ve come—and how far we have to go—than through personal stories, and this diverse collection of stories is particularly powerful. One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium is a must-read for teachers who are struggling to seek acceptance personally and professionally. Jennings explores new frontiers in LGBT education, giving us a real flavor of the experience of being an educator in the 21st century.”
—Bob Chase, past president of the National Education Association
“Growing up gay isn’t easy for anyone, but Kevin’s stories show the power of unwavering hope and resilience in the LGBTQ community members working inside our schools. As a gay woman and union leader, I know that I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for my union—an ally in the struggle for rights and a shield from unfair discrimination in the workplace. Kevin’s acknowledgement that unions embolden openness and openness boosts acceptance demonstrates his deep understanding of the educator community, their personal challenges and how things can get better when they embrace their identities.”
—Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers
“One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium is both informative and deeply inspiring, adding many important voices to previous groundbreaking volumes.

—Michelangelo Signorile, author of It’s Not Over: Getting Beyond Tolerance, Defeating Homophobia, and Winning True Equality
