Victory! Sex Ed Expansion Bill Is Dead!
We are excited to report that AB295 (sex ed expansion) will not be heard this session. This is an enormous victory for Nevada parents!
This is the second legislative session in a row that parents have defeated comprehensive sex education legislation. But, in spite of this legislative victory for parental rights, we are watching for similar proposals on a local level. Many School Board Trustees in Clark and Washoe counties are in favor of comprehensive sex education curriculum, Planned Parenthood advocacy in schools, and changing opt-in to opt-out.
Currently, Washoe County School District (WCSD) is considering radical Comprehensive Sexuality Education. Information on proposed curriculum and meetings can be found here.

New Sexuality Education Proposed Legislation for the 2019 Nevada Legislative Session:
AB295 is a dangerous Comprehensive Sexuality Education Bill that, if passed, would remove Parental "Opt-In." This means parents will not know what topics of sexuality education will be taught in class, when these topics will be taught to their children, or who will be teaching them. Control over topics that will be taught would be regulated by the state of Nevada, who would have the ability to contract with outside vendors to teach sex ed. In other states this has been contracted out to Planned Parenthood.

CCSD Statement on AB295:
On March 22, 2019, the Clark County School District submitted their Fiscal Note on this bill. We were pleased to see that they included this verbiage at the end of their note.
"In addition, after a survey of community members that took place in 2015, it is apparent that changing from “opt-in” to “opt out” and requiring sexuality education for K–12 inclusive will not be acceptable for many CCSD stakeholders. There will be a substantial fiscal impact to CCSD." Click here to see more from CCSD regarding AB295 |

CANADIAN SEX ED - A LOOK INTO OUR FUTURE:
Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood and the CCLA (The Canadian Civil Liberties Association - the Canadian iteration of the ACLU) were successful in implementing comprehensive sex ed on the nationwide level in Canada. We can learn from the experiences of Canadian parents as to how we can combat the same result here in the states.

Sex Ed Issues Considered Important by Power2Parent:
1. Maintain the requirement to opt-in to sex education. 2. CCSD personnel should be the only people teaching our children Sex Ed. 3. Sex Ed should not be taught to ages younger than 5th grade - nor should it be taught to every grade in school. 4. We want policies and safeguards to protect parental rights. 5. We want safety for all individuals while respecting all value systems and cultures. |
