Summary

Show full summary
  • Students: It would call attention to bias-based bullying, exclusion, and punitive discipline that research links to higher absenteeism, lower grades, and worse mental health. It notes that 26 States enacted sports bans and 17 States restricted bathroom access for transgender students between 2021 and 2025.
  • Families and educators: It would recognize the National Day of (No) Silence and designate 2025–2026 as a period to build on No Name-Calling Week, aiming to mobilize families, teachers, and communities to reduce harassment and support student well-being.
  • State and local policymakers: It would encourage adoption of laws that prohibit bias-based victimization, exclusion, and erasure, and highlights recent state moves including nine States that censored LGBTQI+ instruction and eight States treating such topics as "sensitive."
