It is incumbent upon all citizens to protect the weak and most vulnerable among us…period!

Town governments, school systems and all other community organizations should publicly affirm their support of equal protection under the law and publicly confirm that policies and procedures are in place to ensure a safe and compassionate environment for Transgender students.

Do Transgender students have appropriate access to bathroom facilities of their choice?  How are they accommodated – separate or shared facilities?  Are there scheduled access periods?  Is there adequate adult supervision?  Has there been “sensitivity training” provided?  Gender neutral facilities available?

We are responsible for ensure suitability and monitoring for compliance.

For those who do not enforce the legal rights of individuals should be subject to the full force of the judicial system to ensure compliance with the law. (State of Connecticut Constitution – SEC. 20. No person shall be denied the equal protection of the law nor be subjected to segregation or discrimination in the exercise or enjoyment of his civil or political rights because of religion, race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex or physical or mental disability.) AND the peaceful protest of their neighbors!

This is how good citizens respond. We can do this!
