Este folleto brinda información sobre los derechos que tienen los estudiantes en relación con la orientación sexual y la identidad y la expresión de género en las escuelas públicas de jardín de infantes a 12.° grado de Rhode Island.

Las personas lesbianas, gais, transgénero y queer (LGBTQ) que asisten a la escuela sufren de discriminación con demasiada frecuencia. Debido a que algunos funcionarios escolares no saben mucho sobre cómo la ley les exige que protejan a las personas LGBTQ que asisten a la escuela, este folleto brinda información sobre los derechos que tienen estas personas en relación con este tema.

ACLU Report Highlights Need for Statewide Policy to Protect Transgender Students

In the wake of the Trump Administration’s repeal of federal guidance addressing the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming students, the American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island today released a report finding that only 60% of the state’s school districts currently have policies in place to protect the rights of transgender students. In light of that finding, the ACLU report is calling for the state Department of Education to require adoption and implementation of such policies by all local school districts.  Notably, the report highlights the multitude of issues facing transgender and gender non-conforming students, including privacy and confidentiality, the use of students’ preferred pronouns and participation in gender-segregated activities.
