How I would vote on the Safe Schools Improvement Act of 2010

   
    I would vote YES on the SSIA. I believe that any person, regardless of gender or sexual orientation should have the right not to be verbally,physically or emotionally abused due to their beliefs or choices. According to the 2009 National School Climate survey, 84.6 % of LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans-gender) students reported that they were subject to verbal harassment and 40.1% of LGBT students reported being physically abused at school due to their sexual orientation. (Gay,Lesbian and Straight Education Network, 2010) This is a staggering statistic to think about considering it may be one of your children being abused. 

    What do you think about the SSIA? Do you feel like it should be passed?
