Congresspeople Urge Dept. of Ed. to Issue Comprehensive Trans Student Guidelines
PARKER MARIE MOLLOY- JULY 01 2014

"Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, along with Representatives Jared Polis of Colorado and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Florida Republican, sent a letter to U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan late last month, urging the Education Department to further clarify an April statement from the department's Office for Civil Rights regarding Title IX's impact on transgender and gender-nonconforming students."

I'm really glad to see advancements in education policies for trans* kids. Title XI was great but it wasn't very specific on how transgender kids should be treated.
