★ ACTION PLAN ★
 We need to point out the issues with this bill as amended

1. Please start formulating your letters and send them off via fax or email to the Senate Judiciary Committee members. Please ONLY CALL if you are a CONSTITUENT of that senator. All contact information is below.

Some points to hit on in your letters:

★ Segregation issue: SB277 will segregate an entire class of children which is unconstitutional, especially since there are protections in place for students with HIV and HepB. Separate is inherently not equal (Brown v. Board of Education).
★ Removes our right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
★ Violates medical ethics, (as written in Opinion 8.08 of the American Medical Association).
★ Removes freedom of religion, (as declared by the California Constitution Declaration of Rights, Article 1, Section 4).
★ Under the Individuals with Disabilities Act, students are guaranteed a Free and Appropriate Public Education to carry out their Individual Education Plan (IEP) until the age of 22
★ Violates the "equal protection clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
