Keep Religion Out of Texas Classrooms: Reject "Bluebonnet Learning"This cause is a direct response to the Texas State Board of Education’s (SBOE) controversial decision to approve the "Bluebonnet Learning" curriculum for elementary and middle school reading classes. This state-backed policy integrates specific Bible stories, verses, and Christian theological narratives into mandatory K-8 public education across Texas. Scheduled to phase into classrooms, this curriculum impacts over 5 million public school students and attempts to institutionalize religious teaching under the guise of basic literacy education. Public schools must remain strictly dedicated to academic excellence, reason, science, and empirical evidence. Using public infrastructure and taxpayer dollars to introduce supernatural religious mythologies into the classroom is a direct violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which demands a total wall of separation between church and state. Religious instruction belongs entirely within the private sphere of families and faith communities, not inside state-funded institutions where children are a captive audience. Furthermore, the state's implementation strategy includes financial coercion, offering school districts additional funding per student if they agree to adopt these Bible-infused materials. This creates systemic pressure on local boards to sacrifice secular neutrality for financial survival. This cause represents atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, and freethinkers across Texas who demand that education remain entirely secular and free from religious indoctrination. We are fighting to protect vulnerable children from government-sponsored religious coercion, to preserve the constitutional integrity of our public schools, and to pressure both state officials and local school boards to completely reject this curriculum in favor of rational, evidence-based education.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Wynn

Protection for Special Needs ChildrenChildren with special needs—specifically those who are autistic, nonverbal, or have significant developmental and physical delays—face a disproportionately high risk of mistreatment, neglect, or abuse. Because many of these children lack the verbal capacity or communication skills to advocate for themselves, report incidents, or articulate their daily experiences to parents and guardians, traditional reporting mechanisms are entirely insufficient.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Hurst

When the School gets it wrong-Amend the HIB Law in NJNo other family should have to endure what ours did. Our son's name was dragged through the mud because a bunch of adults felt they had the power to do so. No child should ever have to defend themselves in this manner. In this case it was the adults who were the bullies & they hid behind their school credentials to do it. Yes i agree that any acts of bullying should be investigated, but the schools in this case knew better, they just hadn't thought a parent would challenge them on it. A school should be a safe place for all children to learn & grow.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Lozano

Girls Flag Football in New Mexico in High SchoolPeople should support this because it’s giving girls all over the world something special. It’s giving girls another avenue to show that girls can play football too. It’s building a nationwide sisterhood where girls are connecting with each other through the game of flag football. That’s what New Mexico needs. Something positive for the youth.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ramar Watson

Protect Play in LAUSD Elementary SchoolsKids are spending most of their day sitting and moving from one structured activity to the next, with very little time to just be kids. In many classrooms, that means over 300 minutes of instruction and only 30 minutes of recess, and even that often gets shortened in practice. Recent LAUSD surveys and data also show more students struggling with anxiety, stress, and disengagement from school. Schools are trying to respond by limiting device use and focusing on student wellness, but the structure of the day hasn’t really caught up yet to what health workers already know - movement and play are essential for development and health! Play is one of the simplest, most effective ways for kids to reset, connect with each other, and come back ready to learn. It’s not extra—it’s part of how kids actually function throughout the day. And for a lot of students in LAUSD, especially those without access to safe parks or outdoor space, school might be the only place where that kind of play can happen consistently. This isn’t about taking time away from learning. It’s about making the school day work better for kids so they can actually focus, engage, and enjoy being there. If we care about student mental health, attendance, and learning, this is something worth paying attention to and speaking up about.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Leilani Francisco-DeLay

KEEP AVID ALIVEThe AVID program is essential for a full academic career. It prepares and stimulates students to achieve a higher degree of appreciation for education. This program is essential for many reasons. First, AVID prepares high school students for college by removing uncertainty and confusion around colleges by informing students what they need to be prepared for college. The second reason why AVID should be retained is the uncertainty of why AVID is being removed. While certain classes and teachers are being deleted, removing this class makes no sense. Third, there is an abundance of students taking this course and the teacher, Ms. Houston is great. Finally, middle school students would no longer going to be able to continue this course in high school. This further makes the removal of AVID confusing. AVID is a great social period. Not only are students able to learn but also establish vital social skills that students will need and use later in life. All in all, the AVID program should be continued.184 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alexandre Bramlett

Change the Clay County Dress Code: Leggings Are Not InappropriateThis isn’t just about one student or one outfit—it’s about how our children are treated in their learning environment. Students, especially young girls, are being singled out, embarrassed, and pulled out of class for wearing clothing that is widely considered normal and appropriate. Instead of focusing on their education, they are being taught that their bodies are a distraction and something to be monitored. Dress code violations like this can impact confidence, self-esteem, and a student’s sense of belonging at school. It sends the message that how they look matters more than their ability to learn, participate, and grow. These policies are often vague and inconsistently enforced, which can lead to unfair treatment and unnecessary disciplinary action. No student should lose instructional time or feel ashamed over clothing that is comfortable, functional, and appropriate. This is about creating a school environment where students feel respected, supported, and focused on what truly matters—their education. If we don’t speak up, nothing changes.511 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Clarke

Help Queens Innovation Center Get a Girls Volleyball TeamBy giving Queens Innovation Center a girls volleyball team it would encourage healthy activities like exercising and working out. It would also help the students in engaging in team spirit as well as socializing. Joining a team, specifically a volleyball team (a very team motivated sport) it helps the students create new connections with their peers. Sports, such as volleyball, also contribute to decreasing the sadness in a student's system. Working out and playing sports increases your happiness because it triggers your brain to release chemicals like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These chemicals help lift people's mood, create feelings of calmness, and reduced stress.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eveline Yip

Stop Censoring Science & History at Our National ParksThe Trump administration's Department of the Interior is forcing the removal or censoring of national parks exhibits that share factually accurate and relevant U.S. history and scientific knowledge. This campaign has escalated in recent weeks. The Trump administration has issued directives to National Park Service staff to remove many exhibits across the country, including ones that discuss the history of slavery and enslaved people, civil rights, the treatment of Indigenous peoples, and climate science. The effects of climate change on our nation's most iconic landscapes and sensitive natural resources are real; simply deleting references to climate science and impacts does not reduce the harm being done. Your help is needed to keep science and history from being removed and censored from America's largest classroom—our national parks! Tell U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to stop erasing science and history from exhibits within the National Park Service.24,025 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)
