In America, we believe in the rights of ALL people to an outstanding equitable public education that embraces diversity of all kinds.

And now we must turn that belief into healing, listening, learning, and working together to develop ideas into tangible solutions.

While we are hopeful that the new board will prioritize overturning this decision and enact an inclusive policy that serves ALL athletes, passage of the policy sends a hurtful and discriminatory message. So please come out and show your support for ALL kids!

No matter what we look like, where we come from, or how we express our genders, we want the freedom to be ourselves and be treated with dignity.

Tomorrow night, CBSD board will likely vote to ban transgender students’ participation in sports according to their gender identity.

Attorneys for the Education Law Center believe the policy violates federal and state civil rights laws and have urged the board to vote NO.

We will not turn our schools into political battlegrounds. We will not allow fear and misinformation to deny civil rights and equal opportunity to LGBTQ kids, to any kids, we will not deprive a kids the freedom to read, we will not suppress honest and accurate learning.

Public education belongs to the public. It’s up to ALL of us today to determine the future of our community public schools.

Go cast your ballot!

• prepare people to become economically self-sufficient, and
• improve social conditions.

The mission of public schools is to:

• provide universal access to free education,
• guarantee equal opportunities for all children,
• unify a diverse population,
• prepare people for citizenship in a democratic society,

From the judge: "the books do not qualify as being “harmful to minors” because the books as a whole have literary value."

It's vitally important that we stand up for whole books, judged in their entirety.

In this court ruling we see why reading and evaluating books in their entirety—something CBSD's library policy ignores—is critical to protecting intellectual freedom.

The majority of us believe the future of our community depends on safe and welcoming schools that work for each and every child.

It's been well over a year since pride flags were banned from CBSD classrooms. We continue to be deeply concerned that their removal eliminates a potential safe space for LGBTQ youth.

This is not warfare. It’s not an either/or zero-sum game. This year’s election is about whether we can unite around what’s best for our children, schools, and community.

By joining together, speaking up at school board meetings, and voting in local elections, we will protect the right of every child to an education that prepares them for the future.

We can only accomplish our best schools by making room for all our citizens.
