District 3
Number of View: 2376
HISD District III has 31 schools located within it, several of which have thriving Gay/Straight Alliances. These alliances offer lifelines to LGBT students who too often feel isolated, different and suffer from higher instances of bullying. To have their HISD Trustee now being one of the bullies cannot be healthy for our children. Click HERE for a Map of the District and see below for the list of schools located within District III. Clicking on the name of the school will take you a page on the school’s leadership. We urge you to send a message to the Principals of these schools and express your disappointment and concern over Trustee Rodriguez’s actions.

About HISDbully.org
Just days before the November 8th election, sitting HISD Trustee Manuel Rodriguez highlighted his opponents support of LGBT rights and the fact that his opponent was openly gay as reasons for the voters of District III NOT to vote for him.
Additionally, Rodriguez conducted a television interview with a Spanish-language news channel where he posed the open-ended question of why a 50-something year old gay man would want access to our children.
The obvious gay-baiting and veiled homophobia fly in the face of a recently adopted nondiscrimination policy adopted by the Houston Independent School District which protects both students and facility from harassment on grounds which include sexual orientation and gender identity.
