Why maintaining the opt-in law is so important:

Currently in Nevada, parents have a LEGAL RIGHT to be informed and give permission when their children are going to receive sexual information at school.  This right is found in NRS 389.065 and is called “OPT-IN.”

The Clark County School District’s Board of Trustees will soon vote whether to recommend legislation to strip parents of this right.

CCSD has identified in their Pledge of Achievement that parental involvement is one of their top strategies for success (see ccsd.net). They identify effective communication as the primary tool for meeting this goal. 

Trustees argue that, because a very few parents may not be competent, ALL parents must lose the legal right to be informed and give permission for students to be exposed to sexual content.

A vote by the trustees to recommend a repeal of “Opt In” is in an insult to parents and a direct contradiction to the stated goal of expanding parental communication and involvement.  

A vote by the Board to recommend the elimination of this basic legal right would be a hugely symbolic statement of “no confidence” in the parents of Clark County.

If, in fact, some students and families need extra care, the Board and CCSD should look for alternative ways to provide that help without seeking to eliminate existing legal rights.

OPT-OUT WARNING:  Sexuality education activists view swapping “Opt-in” for “Opt-out” as only the FIRST STEP in achieving their agenda.

The NEXT STEP (as seen in Massachusetts and New York) is to make it illegal for parents to opt-out at all.  In these states, it is mandatory that public school students receive specific sex education lessons beginning in kindergarten.

BOTTOM LINE: The CCSD Board of Trustees should NEVER support a policy that strips parents of legal rights and reduces parent/school communication.
