Preferred Names Used Announced at Graduation (Jackson R2 Schools)

The Issue

#SAYMYNAME

There are many students who have preferred names. This petition is to change the school board's opinion on announcing those preferred names during their graduation ceremony. 

This is one of the most important days of their lives and it should be fair to honor them for working so hard through school by announcing their names as they wish. 

Please help me in presenting a case to Jackson R2 Schools that this needs to change. Raise awareness and fight for our transgender youth! This isn’t just my fight- this is our fight for equality!
