I'm going to introduce a few bills to combat the NLLC. Anyone in the Assembly can sponsor a bill, so please do.

I am currently working on a bill to help the fight against the NLLC

Suspended for the time being

[RC (a la Frémont)]

Here's something that I've been working on for a while, though the NLLC is less of an issue, I think it might be still worth-while to debate:

Remember, any Lincoln citizen can propose legislation.

[Lambsbread]

I suggest that you folks propose a bill modeled after this one that I introduced in the Senate.

Alright, Sen. R2D2, here's a very rough draft.

The Empowerment and Protection of Students Act
To strip federal funding from schools that do not comply with mandates regarding Minority and special needs students. Based on the "Protecting our Students Act" passed in the Southern region.

1. Federal and Regional funding for schools that do not comply with mandates regarding students belonging to a minority group, being composed of race, gender, or religious difference, is hereby revoked.

2. Mandates regarding students belonging to a minority group, being composed of race, gender, or religious difference" shall be defined as mandates, legislative or otherwise, made by the Lincoln Regional government that orders schools to protect the interests and rights of students who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender. This also applies to racial minorities, including African Atlasians, Latinos, Native Atlasians, or any other legally recognized non-Caucasian race. Finally, this also applies to belonging to Religious minorities, such as Islam, Judaism, Atheism, Buddhism, Hinduism, or another legally recognized non-Christian or Christian denominational faith.

3. Schools that would violate these propositions that would increase the wellbeing for minority students as outlined in Section 2, whether by denying access to a bathroom according to gender identity, time to pray in accordance with a student's religious beliefs, dietary or medical accommodations in accordance with a student's religious or health needs, or any other religious, medical, or cultural standard, shall be subject to revocation of any federal funding they receive.

4. Accommodations for students shall not extend into unrealistic demands, which may include accommodations not outlined in this act, or any other federal or regional mandate. Accommodations may not be made that give students outlined in Section 2 unfair advantages over other students.

5. Schools that have their federal funding stripped due to a perceived violation outlined in this act may appeal the decision and will be given one hundred eighty (180) days or six (6) months to provide evidence that they are complying with this act. In the event that they are able to prove that they are complying with this act, their funding shall be restored.

6. This act will take effect immediately upon passage.

This will need much debate, and presumably a sponsor.
