LETTER: Student anti-racism activists urge support for anti-discrimination bill
Students across the state and in our schools face racism, ableism, sexism, and other inequalities daily throughout their educational journey. We believe that the provision which would include students under the harassment protections is an extremely vital part of this bill, and needs to be included for it to pass.
‘Climate of injustice and racial inequity’ in Vermont schools deserves change
To address incidents of racism and intolerance in high schools around Vermont, the Vermont Student Anti-Racism Network plans to hold discussions about racism and social justice, and talks where students can focus on specific examples in their schools. An informational meeting is scheduled for March 1.
Students lobby for bill to promote anti-racism school curriculum
The bill H. 584 was just introduced in the Vermont Legislature. As Vermont high school students who worked closely on creating and developing this bill, we hope it will move swiftly through the legislature and be passed into law.
