Could this be the year that the Clark County School District — the nation’s fifth largest — updates its sex education curriculum? A Jan. 11 meeting of the district’s Sex Education Advisory Committee points to that possibility. Then again, we’ve been here before. According to the agenda and backup materials for the Jan. 11 committee…
The Clark County School District may be updating their sex education curriculum. Maybe. If they ever get around to voting on it. At a meeting last week, the school district — which serves the Las Vegas metropolitan area and is the fifth largest school district in the country — voted to do nothing regarding a…
Now that I’ve had some time to let my ragehol work through my system about the “cowardly” death of the comprehensive sex education bill (AB230), I’m starting to get some perspective on the situation. Don’t get your hopes up Sen. Justin Jones, you’re still on my shit-list (I’m one of your constituents, after all). No,…
Dear Anti Sex Ed Crowd: Greetings and salutations! I bet you’re surprised to hear from me. After all, you’ve spent some time lately calling me a terrible mother (on television no less) because I advocate for a much-needed update to Nevada’s sex education standards — originally passed at the height of the AIDS-panic-1980s — that…

For some time now there’s been an unwritten ironic joke about growing up in Nevada. Legalized prostitution? You bet. A resort industry predicated on selling itself through the objectification of women? Yup. But try to get the kids some comprehensive sex education and the opposition will make it rain! And by “rain,” I mean scream…
I couldn’t help laughing during Gov. Brian Sandoval’s State of the State address tonight. They say hindsight is 20/20, but it damn near felt like Gov. Sunny had bought rose-colored glasses when he talked about the last session of the Legislature. All that talk about bipartisan work to get Nevada back on its feet, it…
Welcome to that wonderful time of year when everyone rolls out their Year in Review stories, otherwise known as “It’s the last week of the year and nothing happens between Christmas and New Years.” Oh, I think stuff is happening. You’re here. And I’m here, after all. So let’s make a regular ol’ work day…
