Petition updateSTOP Arkansas House Bill 1156, a bill that is cruel and unnecessary to trans studentsUnfortunately, the bill has passed the House

Sorry to say, we have lost another round in this battle. A decision by the Senate could be reached anytime now, and Rep. Mary Bentley has tied the Arkansas government around her little finger. She claims the bill is to protect students and I have received some backlash from this petition. But we shouldn't give up, transgender students need to be protected from prejudice. If any of them could understand what gender dysphoria is like and how much harm it could do, I would hope they would reconsider they're views. But in the end, I doubt it, because bigots will always find a reason to put down others. I'll keep trying, and I hope y'all do as well!! 

Next step if this bill passes will be to try and remove Mary Bentley from state government.
