The protection of our youth regardless of race, gender, sexuality etc... should be our top priority in education and reality. We need to protect them especially in an educational environment even if students/faculty do not understand them. Bullying and discrimination of youth regarding their identity is completely inexcusable no matter the environment but especially in schools. Our students should not have to worry about their safety at school. Those opposing this are ignorant of acceptance and equality of all. “The lack of these basic rights is what leads to long-term, irreparable inequity in adulthood and should be avoided at all costs through the upmost protection of youth via protective and inclusive policy,” (Téa Le). Think about if you had a child... would you want them to be discriminated against and bullied due to their own identity?
