The largest teachers union in Massachusetts is endorsing a planned Youth Climate Strike this week, in which students plan to skip school to demand implementation of the Green New Deal.
The board of directors of the Massachusetts Teachers Association unanimously passed a motion supporting the strike, according to the union.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban conversion therapy for minors, 147-8.
The bill threatens therapists with loss of their state license to practice if they engage in techniques designed to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of someone 17 or younger in Massachusetts.
