description

Verso of flyer, titled "Keep Sex Out of the Classroom / Board of Examiners Makes Sexuality an Issue" indexes demands for an "immediate cease to discrimination against homosexuals and an end to intrusions into our private lives!" in conjunction with "Intro 475" demonstrations at City Hall, New York City, circa 1971-72.
