Did you know that when the Memphis City Schools were absorbed into the Shelby County School system, MCS students lost enumerated anti-bullying protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression?
Anti-bullying protections weren't fully enumerated in Shelby County School policy at the time of unification.
In response, Tammy Ferguson Green (mother of a Shelby County School student) and Bri Kirwan (a Shelby County School student) spoke to the unified Memphis and Shelby County School Board on September 27, 2012 to urge revision of the anti-bullying policy.
Guess what? They listened.
It appears that the policy was quietly revised in June 2013 to include LGBT-inclusive protections against bullying.
Thanks Tammy! Thanks Bri!
