Pbs News Hour Extra: Us Repeals Ban on Gays Serving Openly in Military

Curated by ACT

In the last days of its December 2010 session, the United States Congress voted to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. This policy prohibited gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. The majority of troops serving felt this repeal would have no effect on their unit. Article also provides a classroom activity, worksheet and lesson plan.
