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

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

View In Browser 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: Assembly-Yes Anderson, Elliot  Anderson, Paul  Araujo, Nelson  Benitez-Thompson, Teresa  Bilbray-Axelrod, Shannon  Brooks, Chris  Bustamante Adams, Irene  Carlton, Maggie  Carrillo, Richard  Cohen, Lesley  Daly, Skip  Diaz, Olivia  Flores, Edgar  Frierson, Jason  Fumo, Ozzie  Hambrick, John  Jauregui, Sandra  Joiner, Amber  McCurdy II, William  Miller, Brittney  Monroe-Moreno, Daniele  Neal, Dina  Ohrenschall, James  Pickard, Keith  Spiegel, Ellen  Sprinkle, Michael  Swank, Heidi  Thompson, Tyrone  Tolles, Jill  Watkins, Justin  Yeager, Steve Assembly-No Edwards, Chris  Ellison, John  Kramer, Al  Krasner, Lisa  Marchant, Jim  McArthur, Richard  Wheeler, Jim   Senate-Yes Atkinson, Kelvin  Cancela, Yvanna  Cannizzaro, Nicole  Denis, Moises  Farley, Patricia  Ford, Aaron  Gansert, Heidi  Harris, Becky  Manendo, Mark  Parks, David  Ratti, Julia  Roberson, Michael  Segerblom, Tick  Spearman, Pat  Woodhouse, Joyce Senate-No Goicoechea, Pete  Gustavson, Donald  Hammond, Scott  Hardy, Joseph  Kieckhefer, Ben  Settelmeyer, James Click here to find out who your State Senator and Assemblyman are.   We also have a very important primary coming up in Nevada on June 12th 2018.  Early voting begins May 24th - June 8th.   As you are deciding how you will vote, there are many important questions to ask, like "Will this candidate stand up for my parental rights?" "How has this candidate defended parental rights in the past?"
