and PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

On Wednesday, April 13, State Senator Stacey Campfield will introduce his “Don’t Say Gay” bill (SB049) to the Senate Education Committee.  As introduced, the bill requires that “no public elementary or middle school shall provide any instruction or material that discusses sexual orientation other than heterosexuality. “ 

This bill would tie the hands of school counselors, school psychologists, teachers, principals and other school employees in protecting our children.  If a child is experiencing issues relating to their sexual orientation or identity, they would be unable to discuss those issues with the adults who are supervising and teaching them.  Early detection of the signs of depression can help prevent suicides among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.
