PROTECT EVERY WASHINGTON STUDENT
Oppose These Initiatives That Increase Abuse Risks
Our Endorsers Include:
Oppose Dangerous Initiatives
While costs are skyrocketing and our country is divided, a mega-millionaire from California wants to distract you from real problems by attacking vulnerable kids, especially immigrant, neurodivergent, homeless and LGBTQ+ students. He is using out-of-state paid signature gatherers to promote poorly written initiatives that will threaten the safety of every Washington student, putting some students at greater risk of abuse at home and at school through possible invasive genital exams, forced outing, and restricted access to help when they need it most. The Repeal of the Safety Act (IL26-001) and Putting Girls At Risk (IL26-638), include:
FORCED OUTING
Teachers and school counselors would be required to “out” LGBTQ+ students to unsupportive families, putting kids at greater risk of abuse, mental health issues, and even homelessness.
RESTRICT ACCESS TO HELP
Students would have a harder time getting help from school counselors for domestic violence, sexual abuse at home.
INVASIVE GENITAL EXAMS
Girls as young as 11 could be forced into invasive physical exams of their “reproductive organs” if they want to play on an after-school team, violating their privacy, and increasing chances for abuse. Boys are exempt.
