Found proof, well that really sucks.



Backstory

My teacher, that oversees my government curriculum, and I got in a discussion about discrimination laws and she made the statement that people can't legally be fired for anything other than breaking a code of conduct, to which I pointed out that it's legal for me to be fired in 34 states for being transgender, and 29 if I was only gay. She kept arguing, saying that there is no way that is legal to the point where she ended up saying that if I can prove it with a valid source that I'll get EC points (which would put me at a 4.0). I found them within 10 minutes...
I don't know whether to be proud of my knowledge or disgusted that it's actually true.

Kudos to you for proving the point and earning that credit. Shame on our society for not fully buying into the whole "created equal" thing. Keep working and stand fast; it WILL happen.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to, once I graduate anyways, be able to help make that change. Thankfully I'm not in one of those states but all the places I want to potentially move to are.
