This section affirms Hawaii’s commitment to providing equal opportunities and resources for students of all genders in athletics programs. Section 302A-1001 establishes the general education policy of the state, requiring that all students have access to a safe, fair, and inclusive learning environment free from discrimination based on sex, gender identity or expression, and other protected characteristics. These provisions promote gender justice in education by ensuring access and fairness both in the classroom and in athletics.
