Twin Legislation Bill for Massachusetts State

To:  Senators Kennedy & Kerry

We the undersigned, petition you Senator Edward Kennedy & you Senator John Kerry to sponsor a bill for Twin Legislation in Massachusetts State similar to that of Minnesota's "Twin Bill" sponsored by Senator Dennis Frederickson and signed into law by Governor Tim Pawlenty, which gives parents a primary voice in the classroom placement of their multiple children. As parents we believe that arbitrarily separating all twins and higher order multiples based solely upon their multiplicity and the past practices of The Department of Education, is discriminatory and therefore unacceptable . Multiplicity is a birthright and the decision to separate or keep the children together within the classroom should be made on a case by case basis, based upon the children’s individual needs. We believe as parents/guardians of our multiple children that we should have the primary voice in any classroom placement decision made for them, as we know best their individual psychological, emotional and social needs.

Sincerely,

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
