ACLU letter of support for the Student Non-Discrimination Act (S. Amdt. 2093) Amendment to the Every Child Achieves Act (S. 1177)

This document is an ACLU letter of support urging Senators to vote YES on the Student Non-Discrimination Act Amendment (S. Amdt 2093) to the Every Child Achieves Act (S.1177). SNDA, offered by Senator Al Franken (D-MN), would provide lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (“LGBT”) students with long overdue and much needed explicit federal protections by establishing a comprehensive prohibition against discrimination and harassment in all public elementary and secondary schools across the country based on a student’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
