Good morning to Education Committee Members and all: Here are timely and informative sources on Gender Policies as we await Las Cruces Public Schools to publish their gender regulation. Our focus is not anti-anyone, our focus is on parental rights (notification), teacher’s rights, religious freedom, common sense pronoun policies, and trying to get the overall focus back on real education.
