Gender Diverse Policy Passed by NDE, now onto Legislative Committee for Final Passage

Dear Powerful Parents,


On Friday, May 11th, the Nevada Department of Education passed state regulation language for gender diverse students. This regulation will go to the Legislative Committee on Education for final approval. Pursuant to the passage of SB225 in 2017, this regulation is a framework that obligates every district in the state to create its own transgender guideline or policy. 


Through open records requests, Power2Parent discovered that the trans-activist group Gender Justice Nevada has influenced this process from the beginning. GJNV has a vested financial interest in our children seeking contracts to provide staff training and counseling services.  This regulation is incomplete, and the writing process was unethically influenced by trans-activists who could gain financially if this regulation is approved by the Legislative Committee.  


As of today, we do not know what day the regulation will come before the committee, but we will alert parents when it is posted.  


This policy protects one demographic at the expense of others constitutionally protected rights as well as parental rights.
It is incumbent on our legislators to fix this policy before its final passage. We urge you to contact your legislator and ask them to intervene. 
 
These are the legislators who voted for SB225 that was packaged as expanded training for staff:

Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy.
Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data.
We're making these updates as new data protection regulations come into effect in the European Union, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world.
Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand
Simpler structure & clearer language
We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy.
Embedded privacy controls
We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.
Improving your privacy controls
Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them.
This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings.
To learn more about these and other controls to manage your privacy, visit your Google Account.

Hearing on Friday May 11th for Statewide Gender Diverse Policy

Dear Powerful Parents,

This is a reminder for the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) public hearing tomorrow, May 11th at 9:00 a.m. This meeting will be held at 9890 S. Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89183.

As stated in our last email, at this hearing the NDE will likely vote on the proposed state regulation language regarding a "safe and respectful learning environment" that every school in the state of Nevada will be obliged to adopt. This state policy will affect every single child in Nevada charter and public schools.

Senate Bill 225 (SB225) was passed in the last legislative session requiring additional training to staff "regarding pupils with disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and sex/gender diverse students (encompassing sections 8(b), 9.2(b-c), 10.2, 12.1(a-f)." The proposed regulation language essentially expands the rights of sex/gender diverse students at the expense of privacy and freedom of speech of every student and ignores pupils with autism and disabilities.

Regardless of the small changes that were made to the last draft, the following points have not been adequately addressed:

  1. Restroom/Locker room access.
  2. Overnight field trips.
  3. Compelled speech by teachers, volunteers, and students.
  4. The NDE ignored the law which specifically directed the NDE to work with parent groups and others to develop the state policy and allowed a Trans-activist group to write the policy.


We look forward to seeing you all there. If you have any questions, or need assistance with your testimony, please message us on Facebook.

Thank you for standing with us in defense of your parental rights. See you on May 11th!

Sincerely,

Power2Parent
