4:20 consent education is important, but not a substitute for Title IX education. Title IX is about the school's responsibility to provide a safe and equal learning environment, not about what may or may not have happened off campus.

Watch for a transcript coming soon.

The essentials everyone should know about to take action. Students can't wait for top-down change.

Didn't she say she doesn't care if innocent man goes to jail for false grape allegations

It's true. Ask any survivor and family who endured it.

Life-saving information students won't get in the classroom.

Whether they experience it, see it, or hear about it, sexual harassment and assault impact so many students. Sounds like SASH Club provides information kids will not learn in any classroom.

So necessary!

So important because schools don't teach this vital information.

Basic essential information for middle and high school students. More in Caroline Heldman's TEDx Talk "The Sexy Lie" with 1.5 million views. SSAIS is honored to have Dr. Heldman's contribution to our video.

Good point: Students can start a conversation without being experts using the SASH Club resources (Power Topics). They form a club and start talking. The structure is there and they run with it in any way that's appropriate for them.

This is how peer education can change school culture around sexual harassment.

It is so helpful to hear that school districts normalize sexual harassment. It's happening here and we want to stop it!

Solid advice from an expert--thank you.

Too many girls are suffering in middle schools. They should have SASH Clubs too.

More schools should have these clubs. Peer education is so impactful.

They're basically a SASH Club!

Such important information--teens urgently need it! Thank you.

Yes, I had a problem with my school. They did absolutely nothing when our daughter was sexually assaulted. I wish I had known how we could have held the school accountable.

So true. The school minimized the harassment to the detriment of our student.

The Power Topic has links to media articles about male and female teachers hitting on male students and two powerful youtubes.

Thank you so much for the video! It is so under rated❤

Thanks for this... a lot of students don't report sexual harassment b/c they think schools won't do anything about it.

Good point. If HS students think it's OK to harass others, then they'll do the same when they go to college.

Thanks Chellie for inspiring SASH Club.

Good. A lot of people don't realize that Title IX applies to sexual harassment.

Thanks, I didn't know this.

Thank you Lauren for courageously sharing your story.

I'm glad to see this b/c a lot of people assume that only male teachers hit on students.

The best video on this subject by far!

Thank you Lauren for speaking your truth.

This is great because most students and their parents don't know what the Title IX Coordinator does.

We need more student activists like Kathryn.

Like she says, more adults have to become comfortable about having these discussions with their students.

Good. Not enough students know about how Title IX protects them from ongoing sexual harassment.

Excuse me they aren’t straight if they’re pedos

We know of so many families who have had horrible experiences including our own. The schools blame the reporting students, minimize the harassment, and even retaliate against the student or family. Instead of protecting the students, they're concerned about their reputations and bad press. No wonder more students don't report and suffer in silence--or worse.😡

Incredible interview--so courageous, Lauren! Such a clear explanation of the problems teens experience, why schools ignore them, and what students need.

I was struck by his statement that sexual harassment and assault are community problems that bleed into all our lives. That it also impacts students who witness or hear about it, making them anxious and unable to concentrate. When students drop out, the estimated cost to taxpayers for each student is $272,000. Not to mention the personal misery and loss of human potential.

Minute 16 to the end is not to be missed!

Sexual harassment and assault are grossly underreported. Reporting students are often blamed, punished, or retailed against by the school or peers. We can change this, one school at a time. Our family did and so can yours.

So inspiring! Youth voices driving change!

Talking about such a bad experience is not easy at all. Lauren, you are a real inspiration!

Lauren's courage and advocacy work is truly an inspiration. Listen to survivors and their families! Lauren's experience of institutional betrayal is, tragically, all too common. Few people understand the nightmare that sexual harassment and assault can cause to survivors, their families, and friends unless they have experienced it. We can prevent this by using the SASH Club and SSAIS resources, among many others.

Terrific advice from a high school student. Student voices drive change!

All the basic information here is relevant even after the 2020 rule referenced above went into effect. The new Title IX guidance is expected in October 2023. While the guidance changes periodically, the essence of Title IX, as explained here, is rock solid.

This video has received over 56K views on our channel where it was first posted. These talented students created the video with only a single planning session. You'll see national experts answering their questions as they plan for the gender equity club.

Adele Kimmel, senior attorney at Public Justice, is among the leading gender equity attorneys addressing K-12 sexual harassment and violence! While some of these provisions may have changed under the recent Title IX guidance, that will turn around in 2023. The basic ideas here can be pursued by anyone seeking accountability! So informative!
