WASHINGTON, D.C. - A bill was introduced Jan. 27 in the House by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) that would, as Title IX did for girls and women, offer remedies for discrimination "based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity" in public elementary and secondary schools. The Student Non-Discrimination Act will help to end entrenched biases towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students in the nation's education system.
