What does this brief add? Hard data. FOIA-confirmed numbers show the costs of exclusion aren’t abstract — they show up in rising therapy burdens for kids.

These are not “activist” stats. They’re the state’s own FOIA records.

Courts and legislators now face a choice: ignore their own data, or honor Equal Protection.

From 2018 to 2025, WV’s state data shows therapy costs rising steadily. 📈

Every dollar = another student forced into crisis care instead of thriving in school.

Bans don’t protect kids. They drain budgets, increase suffering, and deepen the crisis.

Affirmation isn’t charity. It’s equity.

In affirming schools, GPA rises, absenteeism falls, and students thrive.

Even if a majority favors discrimination, Equal Protection protects dignity. That’s the point. “Dignity is not up for a vote.”

#SCOTUS #Amicus #EqualProtection #ShowYourWork

And, can someone explain what today's #SCOTUS decision means in terms of the #equalprotection clause? Seems like if your state didn't happen to sue #Trump then Trump can deport you, while folks living in suing states are "safe" (for now). Is it problematic to have #federal policies enforced in some states but not others?

Good question.

Something to think about...

One thing no one has explained is why women's rights should vary by state, while men keep the same rights across the entire country, no matter where they live.
Don't Americans have equal protection under the 14th Amendment?
Misogyny as policy treats women as 'less than'.
There is no law that controls a
man's body. Now do the same for women.
Equal protection is the law.

“Plaintiffs face a violation of their constitutional rights, which constitutes irreparable harm. Indeed, the cruel irony is that thousands of #transgender servicemembers have sacrificed — some risking their lives — to ensure for others the very #EqualProtection rights the #Military Ban seeks to deny them,” Reyes wrote, adding that “avoiding constitutional violations is always in the #PublicInterest.”

A quotation from Algernon Sidney

For this reason, the law is established which no passion can disturb. It is void of desire and fear, lust and anger. It is mens sine affectu, written reason, retaining some measure of the divine perfection. It does not enjoin that which pleases a weak, frail man; but, without any regard to persons, commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich or poor, high or low. It is deaf, inexorable, inflexible.

Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) English politician, republican political theorist [also Sydney]
Discourses Concerning Government, ch. 3, § 15 (1689)
