GenderPAC Calls on NYC Dept of Education to Add Gender Expression to Discipline Code


The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition (GenderPAC) will urge the New York City Department of Education to protect students from harassment and bullying based on gender expression at a public hearing tomorrow night. Under a change to the Discipline Code being considered, students could be disciplined for using slurs, taunting, bullying and physical violence based on another student’s gender expression.
