Description
This 3rd edition guide replaces the Transgender Students & Employees on Campus guide and is expanded to include laws applicable to all LGBTQ students. What rights do LGBTQ students have on campus? That is a question many school districts, school attorneys, parents, state legislatures, and courts have been asking lately. The National Center for Transgender Equality reports that 59 percent of transgender students have been denied access to restrooms consistent with their gender identity. Other potential complaints could arise if a transgender student is denied opportunities to go on field trips or participate in sports. Federal laws also protect the rights of LGBTQ students to assemble, express themselves, and against student harassment. This guide is designed to provide the latest developments in this emerging area of the law.
