Help Stop LGBT Bullying - Al Franken

[Call Me Wesley]

Al's Student Non-Discrimination Act would ban discrimination and harassment in public schools based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and require schools to protect LGBT students when they are threatened.

2. I think I put another thread up here on this the other day but no problem....

This kind of bravery from a Senator deserves all the attention it can get.

Kudo's to Franken and a Rec for this thread!

My thread is here: (just for more info)

3. I'm sorry.

I skimmed GD and couldn't find anything and just got Franken's e-mail. I'll kick and rec yours, too.

5. No need to be sorry for pro GLBT rights posts...

I love that Franken guy, he should be President in 2016..........

6. Kick and Rec. Wesley.....

if you post this to GD , I will keep it kicked for 24 hrs.

Deal?

Suggestion: don't put lgbt in the header. Just "bullying" or "students". It'll get more hits. (Sad but true.)

7. I did post it in GD as soon as I posted it here yesterday.

Got 15 recs in the end, after I kicked it twice. But what you say is indeed sad but true. And I'm sure if I left the 'LGTB' out, someone out there would have alerted on it for 'misleading subject line.'

This DU3 tells me more than I ever wanted to know ...

8. Students are students and kids are kids.

Nothing misleading about that.

Hard to believe the "new" DU would not recognize this. Although.... stupid comes in all varieties and permutations.

Besides, homophobia hurts everyone... not just gays.

I'll see if I can get another version of the Franken bill petition going on GD. Give it a kick or two if you get the chance.

Thanks for pushing this long overdue measure.
