ABSTRACT
The tumultuous social and political changes that occurred in the 1960s have had an impact on social work education that has lasted into the 1990s. The resolution also required that Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) board of directors appoint a task force to develop a curriculum on lesbian and gay issues related to social work and to develop guidelines that would assure the rights of both homosexual faculty and students. The primary objectives of the CSWE task force were to continue to develop and examine social work curricula on lesbian/gay issues, to inquire about discrimination issues of lesbian/gay social work faculty and students, and to create CSWE accreditation standards that reflected lesbian/gay issues and needs. To guarantee the continuing coming-out process for CSWE as well as the social work profession, all who care about oppression must advocate for the inclusion of appropriate language in the newly developing curriculum policy statement.
