IPN HAILS PRESIDENT
OBAMA’S ENDORESEMENT OF SAFE SCHOOL LAWS PROTECTING AMERICA’S STUDENTS
Des
Moines, Iowa– April 20 – Iowa Pride Network is hailing President Obama’s endorsement
of the Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA) and Student Non-Discrimination Act
(SNDA). The two pieces of legislation are currently pending in Congress. Both
acts are designed to address the bullying and discrimination thousands of
American students face on a daily basis, including those that are lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender.
“President
Obama’s support of these two life-saving bills is crucial. Our students deserve
nothing less than schools that support and protect them so they can learn. We
commend the Obama administration for its commitment to help end bullying and discrimination,”
stated Ryan Roemerman, Executive Director of Iowa Pride Network.
Iowa
Pride Network is a statewide nonprofit organization working to make schools and
colleges safe for all students by empowering students to combat bullying,
homophobia, tranphobia, and hate. The network has become a nationally
recognized leader in student leadership development and safe school policies.
