To the Editor:
I was unable to attend the forum at OHCHS last Tuesday, but I want to express my deep and unequivocal support of any LGBTQIA+ students who attend Oxford Hills schools. As Dr. King once eloquently expressed, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” I know that “justice” is a subjective term, but to me, justice is inclusivity. It does not discriminate. It is open-hearted. It is curious and forward-moving. It is love not fear, embracing not repelling, broad not narrow.
I encourage us to support our school board’s proposed policies that allow and support all students, of all self-identities, to thrive, learn, and evolve in a safe environment. To do any less would be unjust.
