Action Needed! NV Dept of Ed holding Gender Diverse Policy meeting over spring break

View In Browser Powerful Parents, While Nevada students and families are enjoying Spring Break one week before Easter, the Nevada Department of Education is holding a public input meeting regarding a policy for transgender kids in Nevada public schools. The policy language to be voted on Friday, March 30 is unprecedented. Not even California has policies that are this extreme. Under the guise of amending our anti-bullying laws, SB225 is an LGBT activist dream.  The language  threatens constitutionally protected rights for children and families who attend public, magnet, and charter schools throughout the state of Nevada, mandating that districts create policy focused on gender diverse students, ignores valid privacy concerns in intimate spaces and decimates local control. Read proposed regulation. This proposal could mandate the following: Allow unrestricted access to students who identify with the opposite biological gender, infringing on  reasonable right to privacy in intimate spaces at school.   Require students to room with another student of the opposite biological sex on overnight field trips, without parental notification.     Allow schools to teach gender theory in the classroom without  parental permission. These policies are radical and dangerous to local control, individual rights, and parental rights. We know that groups like Gender Justice are injecting their activist views  into this conversation influencing what our children could be taught at school. These groups embrace a radical sexual agenda aimed teaching this agenda in public school regardless of what parents believe to be true and in many cases, contrary to what is taught at home. One of our most important rights we cherish as parents is the opportunity to pass on our values to our children. One goal  of activist groups like Gender Justice Nevada is  to take that right away because they believe parents are often the problem instead of the answer. Parents and community members must engage this process before parents loose these fundamental rights. We urge you to do two things today: Call the Attorney General's office and file an online open meeting law violation complaint, stating that the Department of Education is holding a public input meeting on policy when the public cannot reasonably participate due to Spring Break for Washoe and Clark County School District, and Good Friday.            Office of the Attorney General: 702-486-3420 Contact your legislator and ask them if they voted for SB225. Ask them to intervene so this radical language will not be pushed on children and families by activist groups. Call state superintendent Dr. Steve Cannavaro at the Nevada Department of Education, and ask him to reschedule this meeting when the public can reasonably participate.          Phone: 702.486.6458 Thank you for continuing to stand together in defense of parental rights.
