For years now, true equity in Orange County Public Schools based in Central Florida has been absent. Especially so for POC and LGBTQ+ students. In more situations than one, and across the county, students belonging to marginalized groups have fallen victim to homophobia, xenophobia, sexism and racism. We have been affectively silenced by administration and county leadership as a whole. This is dangerous because it encourages the ideology that people belonging to said groups are not deserving of justice and peace. We recognize faults in the county wide code of conduct that is allowing for the suffering of all students to be continued. We understand there is no rhetoric written by the county that is directly homophobic, racist, xenophobic or sexist. However, due to the lack of direct action in the prevention of these issues, many students feel unsafe and undervalued. We demand that Orange County Public Schools hold an official revision process to the code of conduct to better protect all students, including students that have historically been ignored; women, POC, and LGBTQ+ students. As a part of this revision, and to finally address the issue in full, 1 to 4 separate sections should be added to the code of conduct in which the social issues are directly addressed. These sections include but are not limited to: homophobia, sexism, racism and xenophobia. We firmly request that students be directly involved in this process, in addition to the school board, administrators, teachers and staff members from across the county. If we cannot trust our county to be directly active in our protection and to modernize with the times, we cannot trust that we can attend the schools safely with the assurance that no harm will come to us. Over the summer of 2020, multiple students from dozens of schools across the county anonymously came forward to have a light shone on their negative past experiences some of which continue to torment them. This, in addition to the clear and undeniable lack of proactive protective measures is what warrants a need for change. Orange County must hold itself and others accountable concerning these issues. Enough is enough.
