[PASSED] LGBTIQA+ Inclusiveness in Schools Act

[Apatosaurus]

OOC: Hi, I've been sitting on this draft for a while but decided to pursue it now after hearing that apparently it's "leftist indoctrination" for schools to teach that people's gender is not necessarily their birth sex, combined with personal experiences on the subject, especially now with On Paid Leave and Access To Euthanasia Services out of the way. Feedback is appreciated :)

This has now become GAR#603!

Discrimination and harassment against the LGBTIQA+ community in schools, such as targetting of LGBTIQA+ students and homophobic hate speech, is a widespread problem in some member states, denying LGBTIQA+ students a safe and healthy education experience in such member states. Such discrimination and harassment can also create undue pressure on LGBTIQA+ students to conceal their sexuality or gender identity. Furthermore, some schools still take little to no action against homophobia within their schools, or merely engage in "lip service" against homophobia in the absence of strong legislation protecting LGBTIQA+ students.

Now, therefore, be it enacted as follows:

1. For the purposes of this resolution, these terms are defined as follows:
   
   1. A “school” is defined as an institution designed for the organised education of students by providing learning spaces and environments.
      
      
   2. “Hate speech” is defined as public speech which expresses, whether explicitly or implicitly, hate or discrimination towards a certain group; this includes, but is not limited to, the use of slurs against said group.
2. All member states must require schools within their jurisdiction to:
   
   1. teach bona fide to students under the age of majority if they have any, as part of their curriculum and appropriately to the ages of said students:
      
      1. how sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity are defined, developed and experienced, including but not limited to the fact that sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity of individuals are beyond their conscious control, as well as that variance in sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity is normal and natural,
         
         
      2. that individuals should not be considered to be “mentally ill”, “confused” or otherwise insane on the basis of their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity,
         
         
      3. that non-heterosexual relationships are equal to heterosexual ones, and
         
         
      4. that one's gender is determined by their gender identity, rather than their sex assigned at birth;
   2. offer resources to their students to:
      
      1. assist them in questioning or determining their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity,
         
         
      2. assist them in accepting and coming to terms with their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity,
         
         
      3. help them deal with harassment or discrimination for their sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity, and
         
         
      4. otherwise support the mental health of students with diverse sexual or romantic orientations or gender identity;
   3. actively and continuously work to prevent and take action against all forms of harassment of their students based on their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth, or perception thereof, and also encourage their students to report and try to stop such harassment should it occur; and
      
      
   4. actively and continuously work to prevent, and take action against any occurrences which they are aware of, hate speech by their students against groups based on their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth.
3. All member states must prohibit schools within their jurisdiction from discriminating against students on the basis of their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth.

Discrimination and harassment against the LGBTIQA+ community in schools, such as targetting of LGBTIQA+ students and homophobic hate speech, is a widespread problem in some member states, denying LGBTIQA+ students a safe and healthy education experience in such member states. Such discrimination and harassment can also create undue pressure on LGBTIQA+ students to conceal their sexuality or gender identity.

Now, therefore, be it enacted as follows:

1. For the purposes of this resolution these terms shall be defined as follows:
   
   1. A “school” is defined as an institution designed for the organised education of students by providing learning spaces and environments.
      
      
   2. “Hate speech” is defined as public speech or opinion which expresses, whether explicitly or implicitly, hate or discrimination towards a certain group; this includes, but is not limited to, the use of slurs against said group.
2. All member states must require schools within their jurisdiction to:
   
   1. teach bona fide to students under the age of majority if they have any, as part of their curriculum and appropriately to the ages of said students:

      1. assist them in questioning or determining their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity,

      3. help them deal with harassment or discrimination for their sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity, and
         
         
      4. otherwise support the mental health of students with diverse sexual or romantic orientations or gender identity;
   3. actively and continuously work to prevent and take action against all forms of harassment of students based on their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth, or perception thereof, and also encourage their students to report and try to stop such harassment should it occur; and
      
      
   4. actively and continuously work to prevent and take action against hate speech against individuals based on their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth.
3. Member states must require schools within their jurisdiction to fully permit and provide any necessary assistance and support which they can reasonably immediately provide to:
   
   1. student-led organisations operating solely to provide resources and/or a safe environment for students with varying sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity or gender expression, unless said organisation is verifiably causing disruption through deliberate actions unrelated to providing such resources or a safe environment, and
      
      
   2. any other program operating within that school designed solely to support the mental health of students with varying sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity or expression, unless said organisation is verifiably causing disruption through deliberate actions unrelated to supporting mental health of such students.

2. All schools that have students under the age of majority must, as part of their curriculum, teach bona fide to students under the age of majority, appropriately to the ages of said students:
   
   1. how sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity are defined, developed and experienced, including but not limited to the fact that sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity of individuals are beyond their conscious control, as well as that variance in sexual orientation, romantic orientation and gender identity is normal and natural,
      
      
   2. that individuals should not be considered to be “mentally ill”, “confused” or otherwise insane on the basis of their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity,
      
      
   3. that same-sex relationships are equal to opposite-sex ones, and
      
      
   4. that one's gender is determined by their gender identity, rather than their sex assigned at birth.
3. All schools must also offer resources to their students to:

   2. assist them in accepting and coming to terms with their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity,
      
      
   3. help them deal with harassment or discrimination for their sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity, and
      
      
   4. otherwise support the mental health of students with diverse sexual or romantic orientations or gender identity.
4. No school may take action against:
   
   1. student-led organisations operating solely to provide resources and/or a safe environment for students with varying sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity or gender expression, or
      
      
   2. any other program designed solely to support the mental health of students with varying sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity or expression.
   
   
5. All schools must take action to prevent all forms of harassment of students based on their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth, or perception thereof. All schools must also encourage their students to report or try to prevent incidents of such harassment, should they occur. Furthermore, schools must take action to prevent hate speech against individuals based on their sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex assigned at birth.

[Minskiev]

I feel like...this is covered somewhere? If not, I wish you would de-list the preamble. Also, at what age is appropriate to teach 2b? It seems like a big loophole if that one, in particular, is intentionally taught late rather than early.

Edit: 3 is also a little weird. "Must assist them in questioning their orientation" flat out? Like, not even if they don't ask?

[Apatosaurus]

I feel like...this is covered somewhere?

"GAR#514 partially covers Section 4, but only if said homophobic harassment is reported by a parent. Other than that, we have not found any possible other source of duplication."

If not, I wish you would de-list the preamble.

"This has been fixed."

Also, at what age is appropriate to teach 2b? It seems like a big loophole if that one, in particular, is intentionally taught late rather than early.

"Fair enough, we will make changes to address this."

Edit: 3 is also a little weird. "Must assist them in questioning their orientation" flat out? Like, not even if they don't ask?

"The relevant section says that "schools must offer resources", not "schools must require their students to take resources" or something."

[The Unified Missourtama States]

The title could be a lot better, as this does more than just "reducing homophobia in schools." Secondly, you don't define "sexual orientation," "romantic orientation," and "gender identity." You should also put an Oxford comma where those three terms are mentioned. Overall this proposal just seems like "lip service," so I think a fail on relevance if this were to be passed.

[Apatosaurus]

"The title has been changed to " LGBTIQA+ Inclusiveness in Schools Act"."

Secondly, you don't define "sexual orientation," "romantic orientation," and "gender identity."

"Is defining those terms actually necessary? Excluding bad faith interpretations (which are already outlawed) there exists little potential for vagueness on what "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" is."

You should also put an Oxford comma where those three terms are mentioned.

"The use of the serial comma is not customary in Apatosaurus."

Overall this proposal just seems like "lip service," so I think a fail on relevance if this were to be passed.

"How? Unlike actual lip service, this actually does take action to promote inclusiveness of LGBTIQA+ in schools."

[Hulldom]

Why not just mandate sex ed? You could kill two birds with one stone.

[Attempted Socialism]

I'm in favour of the project, best of luck on the work.

A few things stand out, though. The title doesn't reflect everything you want to do in the resolution, as this is more than what I would understand as simple inclusiveness. Maybe that's a nitpick though. Clause 4 and 5 feel clunky to me. In my mind's eye I see a bully fill out a harassment permission slip that the school could permit or not. Can you phrase it in a more active way, ala "school employees must intervene in cases of ...", "must work to prevent" or something like that?
I am also torn about your definition of school, because while school doesn't stop at the age of majority (AFAIK highschool in the US also includes 18-19 year olds), I don't want it to be a university's responsibility to include e.g. gender identity etc. in the curriculum of every course. But the clauses about resources and stopping harassment or hate speech could easily include the last year(s) of highschool and university. If you can work in that clause 2 should be taught during general schooling and 3-5 also applies to institutions of higher learning, then I think it would be an improvement.

Edit: And I forgot to mention, the several sentence introduction alongside the usual short sentence clauses doesn't work for me. I don't mind a different take on the way to write treaties (And I'm not a fan of the run-on sentence convention outside the GA), but the inconsistency irks me.

[Thousand Branches]

Why not just mandate sex ed? You could kill two birds with one stone.

Sex ed is in fact, already mandated as per GAR#369

[Hulldom]

Ah, never mind me then, carry on.

[Minskiev]

To make this prettier, remove the spaces in between bullet points. In fact, all clauses after the hereby should be consecutive, such as:
1.
a.
b.
c.
2.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
3
4
5

[Apatosaurus]

Why not just mandate sex ed? You could kill two birds with one stone.

"As pointed out by the ambassador of Thousand Branches, sex education is already at least partially covered by GAR#369, which mandates that "all general education services in member states to guarantee that all their students who are experiencing reproductive maturation ... are educated through a reproductive education course on the nature of their species's reproduction"."

I'm in favour of the project, best of luck on the work.

"We thank the delegation from Attempted Socialism for their support."

A few things stand out, though. The title doesn't reflect everything you want to do in the resolution, as this is more than what I would understand as simple inclusiveness. Maybe that's a nitpick though.

"We chose to go with this title as per the feedback on the title provided by the Missourtaman delegation (the previous title was "Reducing Homophobia in Schools"). I would agree that the scope does go beyond "Inclusiveness", but I also am unsure what alternative title to use; the Apatosaurusian Delegation will consider a change in title."

Clause 4 and 5 feel clunky to me. In my mind's eye I see a bully fill out a harassment permission slip that the school could permit or not. Can you phrase it in a more active way, ala "school employees must intervene in cases of ...", "must work to prevent" or something like that?

"This is done."

I am also torn about your definition of school, because while school doesn't stop at the age of majority (AFAIK highschool in the US also includes 18-19 year olds), I don't want it to be a university's responsibility to include e.g. gender identity etc. in the curriculum of every course.

If you can work in that clause 2 should be taught during general schooling and 3-5 also applies to institutions of higher learning, then I think it would be an improvement.

"The issues with universities is the reason that adult schools were not included. This is fixed, however."

Edit: And I forgot to mention, the several sentence introduction alongside the usual short sentence clauses doesn't work for me. I don't mind a different take on the way to write treaties (And I'm not a fan of the run-on sentence convention outside the GA), but the inconsistency irks me.

"How is it inconsistent, and where does it use the one-sentence-with-clauses format? The whole proposal is written in the format of several sentences, while the active clauses are in a list and the preamble is in a paragraph."

OOC: The spaces help it read cleaner without being all compressed with no spaces between bullet points.

OOC: Excellent edits; especially the addition to clause 2. I will note, though, that I wasn't IC for that post (My IC ambassador wouldn't reference US schools). Regarding the title, I don't have a good idea. I was sort of remarking on the earlier discussion, since it came to mind when reading your reply to their suggestion. As for the last bit, it's exactly the preamble being a paragraph and the rest of the text being short sentences that I am (Granted, nit-)picking at. I didn't mean to imply that you're using the run-on sentence, or that it's the correct and only, convention. If you like the style then disregard me on that one, it's not a dealbreaker for me.

[Untecna]

I like it, but I think the title needs work. Remove "act" as a word in it, the title like that will work just fine...

[Tinhampton]

Alexander Smith, Tinhamptonian Delegate-Ambassador to the World Assembly: The Tinhamptonian delegation cannot support the proposed Act. In particular, the World Assembly should not be requiring schools in particular to crack down on "hate speech" when it has not passed an overarching law on the subject in the first place - although I will admit that we would oppose such a law, as well.

In particular, the World Assembly should not be requiring schools in particular to crack down on "hate speech" when it has not passed an overarching law on the subject in the first place - although I will admit that we would oppose such a law, as well.

"Why not? The reasons hate speech should not be permitted in schools (assuming it occurs without harassment against LGBTIQA+ students also occuring, which is rarely the case) are explained in the preamble; denying LGBTIQA+ students a safe and healthy learning experience and forcing them to stay closeted."
