A developing state-policy debate over Mounds View may be relevant to families and taxpayers in nation’s largest teachers union votes to officially promote child sex changes.
The new business item requires the union to promote and facilitate access to sex-change procedures for LGBTQ youth.
At their annual representative assembly meeting July 3-6, the National Education Association (NEA) passed a new business item that will spend $580,000 to address “the prevalence of discrimination and violence targeted” at LGBTQ students and educators, according to Education Week.
The measure, which will be in place for one year, will update the NEA’s bargaining guidance around LGBTQ issues, such as access to sex-change procedures for school employees.
“We know that in ‘24, the next presidential election, [the attacks on LGBTQ+ communities are] only going to get worse,” Scott Miller, head of the NEA’s LGBTQ Caucus, told the outlet.
“This helps give NEA a roadmap on how we maneuver through those attacks and how we’re coordinated and making sure we’re one voice rather than fragmented or not on the same page.” The new business item requires the union to promote and facilitate access to sex-change procedures for LGBTQ youth and address homelessness among the community, Education Week reported.
In accordance with the measure, the NEA will create grant opportunities for professional development courses regarding preferred pronouns, “LGBTQ-inclusive” policies and how to support gender-transitioning students.
We are the NEA and we will always, ALWAYS, do what we must for the best of our students.
As the measure advances, residents of Mounds View can follow amendments and contact Kelly Moller regarding the final language.
