This is unacceptable. New Jersey advocates fought hard for these protections. These districts must follow the law and adopt a compliant policy immediately. splc.org/2022/10/majority-of…

Those are the faces of some happy New Voices advocates! Students of McKinley High School were at the Hawaii statehouse yesterday to see the New Voices bill make another major step forward — it was unanimously passed out of its final committee. Next up: the Senate floor!
