Today, at the @KYC_egv I announced the introduction of my bill, the #STOPBullying Act, which would reduce bullying in elementary and middle schools— particularly as it affects #LGBTQ students. Every child should feel safe at school – period.

In recent years... some educators have begun a slow, complex process of “unlearning” the widely accepted American narrative of Thanksgiving. #wereNIEA #unThanksgiving #ThanksgivingMyth https://t.co/cwCNzfRgsB

The Trump administration's threats to pass a nationwide license to discriminate...
❌ Misuse the term “religious freedom”
❌ Harm thousands of kids in foster care

Happy #ElectionDay2019! Whether you're voting for your new governor, new school board, or looking at some ballot measures, it is important that you turn out and make your vote count!

[Advocates for Youth @AdvocatesTweets]

The Trump Administration is attacking LGBTQ youth AGAIN, allowing shelters, foster care providers, drug prevention programs, and HIV & STI treatment programs to discriminate against them.

That's not "religious freedom." That's oppression, discrimination, and harm!

Public list of #IntersexAwarenessDay events around the globe this weekend. Please add if your city has one!

[GLSEN Research Institute @GLSENResearch]

Our findings show 6 in 10 LGBTQ students experience anti-LGBTQ discrimination at school, including adherence to traditional gender norms, restricting LGBTQ expression, and limiting LGBTQ inclusion in extracurricular activities. Time for @usedgov to take these incidents seriously.

[Suzanne Bonamici @RepBonamici]

All students need to be able to learn in a safe environment free from harassment and discrimination. Alarmingly, @amprog found a sharp decline in enforcement of LGBTQ students’ civil rights under the Trump administration. https://t.co/QAkTDunbkE

[GLSEN @GLSEN]

Fewer #LGBTQstudents who report discrimination in schools have had their claims investigated by @usedgov in the last three years. Thank you @RepBonamici and our #allies in Congress for holding #BetsyDeVos accountable to doing her job. https://t.co/0H30ByCDEG

Today we recognize the Indigenous and Two Spirit members of our community and make space to honor them. Visit https://t.co/nLy1vYikri for information and tips on supporting indigenous people's in schools and online.

On #NationalComingOutDay and every day educators should not fear losing their jobs because they come out as LGBTQ. Support the Equality Act which would provide clear non-discrimination protections to educators across the country https://t.co/9joOMr5D2Z #NoRightToDiscriminate
