AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution supports the National Day of Silence, an event where students take a vow of silence to highlight the anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) name-calling, bullying, and harassment they experience in schools. The resolution acknowledges the widespread nature of this harassment, citing statistics on verbal and physical abuse, and its negative impact on students' safety and academic performance. It also recognizes the positive influence of supportive school staff. Therefore, the resolution encourages states, cities, and local educational agencies to implement laws and policies that prohibit such discrimination against students, teachers, and staff, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, to ensure schools are safe environments for learning.
