The Mountain View Whisman school board recently passed a unanimous resolution to support LGBTQ+ students, affirming their rights and promoting inclusive spaces in schools. Amid actions by the Trump administration that threaten LGBTQ+ rights, the board's commitment aims to provide reassurance in a time of fear for the community. Member Devon Conley highlighted the importance of this support, especially for gender nonconforming individuals facing targeted challenges. Other local educational institutions are also adopting similar resolutions, reinforcing a broader movement for LGBTQ+ rights in Santa Clara County.
"Mountain View Whisman School District remains a steadfast advocate for equity, justice, and the right of all individuals to thrive as their most authentic selves, rejecting any efforts to erase or undermine the existence of LGBTQ+ identities."
"It is a very challenging time. I think we need to be very clear in our commitment to everyone in our community, but especially those who are gender nonconforming - who are being targeted explicitly."
