✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution urges New York State lawmakers and the Governor to pass a law requiring all public schools and charter schools to teach students about the political, economic, and social contributions of LGBTQIA+ people. The instruction would be incorporated into the existing curriculum for middle and high school students across New York. This would help ensure all students learn a more complete and inclusive history.
