Safe Schools bill set for hearing!
The Safe Schools for All bill has been scheduled for a hearing Wednesday, March 18th, at 8:30 a.m. in the Senate Education Committee!
See all the allied organizations supporting this bill.
The bill would require Minnesota schools to ensure protections for GLBT and other youth against bullying, harassment, intimidation and violence. The bill would require school districts to provide protections to all groups currently covered by the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
In addition, the legislation would protect the children of GLBT parents!
This bill would address an all-too common problem in our schools - that of kids being forced to endure environments hostile to their education because they are personally targeted on the basis of things like sexual orientation/gender identity, disability, national origin, and physical characteristics. The legislation would simply expand the categories of people that schools already cover with their anti-bullying policies.
Education Minnesota, the state's largest teachers' union, has endorsed this legislation.
Senate sponsors are: Senators Scott Dibble, Charles Wiger, Sandy Rummel and Tom Saxhaug. The bill number is S.F. 971
House sponsors are: Representatives Jim Davnie, Jeff Hayden, Karen Clark, David Bly, Jerry Newton, Carla Bigham, Will Morgan, Carlos Mariani, Roger Reinert, Mindy Greiling, Nora Slawik, and Margaret Anderson Kelliher. The bill number is H.F. 1198.
Contact your lawmakers to express your support for this bill!
