“We’re disappointed by President Trump’s decision to rescind federal guidelines protecting transgender students. We’re fortunate that Massachusetts has long been at the forefront of driving equality and social justice for the LGBTQ community, and we’re grateful for all those who have ensured the safety of transgender students here. Organizations like ours, in partnership with public and private agencies, can continue to serve as models for others across the country. Collectively, we must further educate policymakers on the critical importance of legislation, policies, and practices that provide safe and inclusive educational opportunities for all young people to be free from discrimination and harassment.” -Donna Tambascio, OUT MetroWest Board Chair
