State
and Federal Twin Bill Legislation in New York and Nationwide
- This Bill will allow parents of twins, triplets and higher order
multiples to decide whether to keep their children together or separate
within the classroom. Currently many schools and Principles enforce
mandatory separation policies beginning as early as pre-k, contrary
to recommendations from the NOMOTC, renown Twin Researchers /advocates
such as Dr. Nancy Segal, Dr. John Mascazine and the International
Society for Twins Studies. The supporters of the bill feel children
should not be placed in classrooms based on their multiplicity but
on a case by case basis so the needs of the individual children
can be safeguarded.
Those wishing to support our Federal Campaign should do so by signing
the New York Petition as they are working along side Senator Dennis
Frederickson (who wrote and sponsored the first twin bill in Minnesota)
to achieve this legislation. The petition address is; NEW YORK:

***YOU do not have to be a parent of multiple birth children to
sign. You do not have to reside in the respective state. You only
need to support a FLEXIBLE placement policy and a parents right
to have a voice!***
