SRES 134 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of the Rise Up for LGBTQI+ Youth in Schools Initiative, a call to action to communities across the country to demand equal educational opportunity, basic civil rights protections, and freedom from erasure for all students, particularly LGBTQI+ young people, in K-12 schools.

SRES 134 is a symbolic Senate resolution supporting the Rise Up for LGBTQI+ Youth in Schools Initiative. It expresses congressional backing for efforts to ensure K-12 schools provide equal educational opportunities, civil rights protections, and freedom from erasure for LGBTQI+ students - particularly transgender, nonbinary, Black, Indigenous, and disabled youth. The resolution references state laws restricting transgender students' access to sports, bathrooms, and inclusive curricula, citing data showing these policies harm mental health and academic outcomes. It does not create new laws but encourages states to adopt policies prohibiting bias-based discrimination in schools. As a resolution, it has no legal force and serves only as a statement of support.
