Hearing on Friday May 11th for Statewide Gender Diverse Policy

View In Browser 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: Restroom/Locker room access. Overnight field trips. Compelled speech by teachers, volunteers, and students. 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     Donate Share Tweet Forward Copyright © 2018 Power2Parent, All rights reserved.
