Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)

In CSE, students are no longer taught the science of the reproductive system. Instead, students are exposed to the most explicit and expansive forms of pleasure-based sex education. Instruction includes the right to sexual gratification, pleasure, exploration and experimentation. Masturbation, anal sex, oral sex and abortion are taught.

Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRA)

​SRA education is an approach that gives teens information and skills that are intended to help them avoid all the possible negative consequences of teen sex, including but not limited to, the physical consequences of STDs and pregnancy.

Nevada State Code

​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.”​

​First of all, parents should know their rights. Parents have the right to educate their children according to their own values.

Develop a good relationship with your child’s teacher, so they’ll be receptive to hearing if you have concerns. Insist they let you know ahead of time when sensitive issues will be discussed.

Be proactive in addressing healthy sexuality with your kids. Create a home atmosphere where it’s safe to ask questions.

​And tell your kids that you want to hear about what was said in class. This will provide an opportunity to discuss if they’ve heard something they weren’t ready for, or if the lesson seems to contradict the values you teach your child at home.*
