Transgender Students Deserve Better Than This

TAKE ACTION NOW

The Carney Administration has announced a rule that will sacrifice the interests of some of Delaware's most vulnerable young people in order to appease adults who do not believe in protecting the civil rights of people who are transgender. Under the revised, so called school anti-discrimination regulation (14 Del. Admin. C. 225), students who are transgender will not be treated consistent with their core identity or accommodated in any way unless the school requests permission from a parent or guardian.

Make your voice heard between now and July 6 by submitting a public comment to the Delaware Department of Education. To be considered as part of the public record, comments must either be submitted via email (use the action button below!) or via mail to the attention of Tina Shockley, Department of Education, 401 Federal St., Suite 2, Dover, Delaware 19901. Out-of-state comments are welcome. Comments submitted to other mail addresses will not be accepted.

Your Message

Subject

I am writing in opposition to the latest version of Regulation 225.

Message Body

I am a concerned Delawarean who is strongly opposed to the changes to Regulation 225. I believe that the protections provided to transgender students in the original version should be reinstated before the regulation is adopted, or the regulation should cease to move forward.

It’s up to us to protect transgender youth. If Delaware won’t stand up for them, then it’s abandoning them.

Sincerely,

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
