The schools remain a battle ground for students’ base identities to be accepted and affirmed. LGBTQ+ bullying in the Mahomet-Seymour CUSD #3 schools needs to be addressed by their administration. This is the opening line to a Smile Politely article dealing with a call to contact the school with a letter writing campaign. A friend of mine and of our congregation, Nathan Alexander, a long-time LGBTQ activist in Champaign-Urbana wrote this article, and provides a link to to a suggested letter as well as addresses for their school board.

Remember our call to social justice and our commitment to providing not just a welcoming environment in our congregation, but also in our local communities and especially our schools. 

Thank you!
Jerry Carden, Chair, LGBTQ Welcome Team
