In Nevada, the Democrats passed a last-minute amendment that would fine any school that does not allow pretend girls to change clothes and shower with real girls.
In doing so, they bypassed the required debate on the amendment. I have to wonder how many Democratic legislators push for these requirements at the schools that their own children attend.
Amendment 674 of AB 423 passed the Nevada Senate with 12 Democrats voting for the measure (with one excused) and all eight Republicans voting against it.
That amendment would allow the state to fine schools $5,000 a day for every fake girl pervert they don’t allow to see the real girls naked.
Sen. Ira Hansen (R-Sparks) called it an abuse of power to vote without the required debate time.

On the floor, he said he understood the amendment aimed to deny:
“The right of school boards to block biological males from going into biological female bathrooms, locker rooms, or any sporting events.”
The amendment’s sponsor, Sen. Fabian Doñate (D-Carson City), responded by reading the text:
A board of trustees shall not adopt a policy that limits the access of a pupil because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ancestry, familial status or sex, to school facilities or activities.
Sen. Hansen said:
“I would call this amendment the Bud Light Amendment. That is a major controversy across this state. There’s an enormous backlash across this country on this very issue, and to do this as a floor amendment and not have any hearings, and put it on a bill that originally was fine is absolutely an abuse of the process.”
Sen. Hansen said the original bill was “fully supported” in the Assembly but became “controversial” with the amendment, especially since it was “last minute.”
He encouraged the Senate to drop the floor amendment, saying it did not have any hearings, and he suggested further discussion before voting for it.
“Local school boards are tethered to the local community and the parents who are the stakeholders. Adding a fine to local school boards to hold them hostage to a radical ideology is unacceptable,” Erin Phillips, president of the parental rights group, Power2Parent, told The Daily Caller.
Phillips said parents want sex-segregated spaces, including in sports.
“Denying the reality of gender in sports and private spaces is disadvantaging our daughters and erasing every gain Title IX afforded women. Dems are forcing ideology on them families that is unpopular and unsafe,” she continued.
Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) has not yet voiced his thoughts on the amendment.
The amendment came over a week after one of the school district boards considered a policy which would have blocked transgender students from locker rooms, bathrooms and sports teams that corresponded with gender identity, according to the Douglas County School Board’s May 16 meeting agenda.
