NH Supreme Court Supports Trans Kids
By Charlotte Robinson, August 31, 2024
The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed a lower court ruling upholding a Manchester school district policy in support of transgender students including referring to students by their requested names & pronouns & maintaining student privacy when appropriate. Nico Romeri, a New Hampshire transgender high school student stated, “It was important for me to have the support of other people I could trust to help me feel ready to talk to my parents, especially people who could help make it easier for me to talk to my mom. Transgender students want the same opportunity to learn & be ourselves, just like any kid, without having to worry that adults at school will violate our trust. If someone had decided to tell my mom what they thought about my gender, it would have made things so much harder for me at school & at home.” Henry Klementowicz, Deputy Legal Director at the ACLU of New Hampshire concluded, “We are pleased with the court’s decision to affirm what we already know, that students deserve to be treated with dignity & respect & have a right to freely express who they are without the fear of being forcibly outed. Removing the Manchester School District’s existing, affirming policy would have created an environment where LGBTQ+ students don’t feel safe being who they are & in school, they should feel safe, cared for & able to learn to the best of their ability.” The American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire (ACLU-NH) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving the individual rights and liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights & the Constitution.
