Legislation

No child should be subjected to the dangerous and torturous practice of "conversion therapy." This legislation gained a record number of co-sponsors from both parties in the past. Some towns have passed bans; it's time to protect all Kentucky children from this torturous and debunked practice.

Public schools should not subject children to corporal punishment.

No person should be subjected to solitary confinement, especially not Kentucky kids. Legislation to limit solitary confinement has advanced in recent years. We will continue pushing to end it entirely.

No person should lose their job or be sent home from school for how they wear their hair. Several Kentucky communities have passed local ordinances, and it's beyond time for this protection to extend to all Kentuckians.

Public school dollars do not belong in private schools. Past legislation is currently blocked in court, but lawmakers would reduce funding by $25M annually, harm Kentucky students, and reduce transparency around how your tax dollars are spent. It also paves the way for school vouchers statewide.

Kids are kids and they should all be allowed to fully participate in their schools and play sports. Extreme politicians want to ban transgender students from participating in school sports. These proposals are hateful and rooted in anti-LGBTQ bigotry.
