QuoteWhen you send your child to school you expect that they will be safe and treated fairly, but some victims of bullying say the abuse will continue without legislation.

Local resident Julie Nemecek has experienced bullying based on her gender identification, and is  looking forward to gender equality if the Senate Bill is approved.
