In the midst of religious intolerance and extremism, one religion—the Bahá’í Faith—offers a path toward world peace by advocating the oneness of humanity’s major religions. Now, this groundbreaking documentary tells the amazing, little-known story of the origins of the Bahá’í Faith. The Gate: Dawn of the Bahá’í Faith recounts the founding of this new world religion in Persia by a Prophet known as The Báb. In the mid-1800s, Jews, Christians and Muslims alike were awaiting the imminent arrival of a Divine Messenger. Beginning in 1844, the Báb’s message, which included then-controversial ideas like the oneness of major religions and the empowerment of women, spread like wildfire across the region amidst this religious climate. However, His groundbreaking new message presented a threat to religious and political leaders of the time, resulting in relentless persecution of the Báb and His followers. The Báb’s message ultimately triumphed with a growing number of faithful; today, the Bahá’í religion is practiced throughout the world by over five million people. Combining dramatic reenactments with interviews of renowned historians, religious scholars and Bahá’í Faith experts, The Gate: Dawn of the Bahá’í Faith celebrates the brief, exciting life of a prophet and the indelible impact His message continues to have on the world today.

Beaverton School District adopts new Gender Identification Code for 2018-19Gender "X" is a gender-neutral term used to indicate a gender identification that is not exclusively female or male. The “X” provides a third option for people with non-binary gender identifications and those wishing to not identify either female or male. Families can now mark the gender identification that best fits their student. The Oregon Department of Education, in a step towards greater gender inclusivity, will implement this change in all public schools in the 2018-2019 school year. Three gender options F (female), M (male), and X (non-binary), will be available on student registration and verification forms. A non-binary gender option is now recognized on the Oregon Driver’s License, Oregon Identification Cards, Oregon birth certificates, and public school forms. |
