Even

let
me
let's
see,
let's
talk
about
the
order
here,
we're
gonna
because
we've
got
people
coming
and
going
we're
gonna
start
with
ab166
and
then
depending
on
where
we're
at.
At
that
point,
I
I
think
I
will
do
the
work
session
and
then
come
back
to
ab
231.
That's
like
kind
of
the
tentative
schedule
that
we're
gonna
go
with
right
now.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
hearing
on
ab167
and
we've
got
assemblyman
levitt
here
with
us.
Welcome
to
the.
C
Committee,
thank
you
so
much
chair
dennis
and
members
of
the
committee
happy
to
be
here
before
you
for
the
first
time
for
the
record,
I'm
glenn
levitt,
representing
assembly
district
23
in
clark
county.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
today
for
assembly
bill
167
that
amends
existing
law
to
provide
additional
information
to
students
concerning
mental
health
resources.
C
C
These
visits
increasing
increased
sharply
during
the
period
of
time
and
remain
during
that
period
of
time
and
remained
elevated
through
october
of
last
year,
compared
with
2019
the
visits
for
children
12
to
17
years
of
age,
increased
by
31
in
a
report,
the
cdc
states
that
expanding
access
to
services
that
support
children's
mental
health
is
critical
during
the
coven
19
pandemic.
C
Since
this
has
been
a
problem
even
before
the
pandemics
clear
that
more
needs
to
be
done
to
address
this
issue.
Assembly
bill
167,
builds
upon
previous
legislation
and
what
has
already
been
provided
to
our
student
population
under
this
bill
student
id
cards
will
now
include
contact
information
concluding
concerning
suicide
prevention.
C
Section
3
of
the
bill
is
a
parallel
session,
beginning
on
page
2
line
24..
This
section
applies
to
the
same
requirements
to
identification
cards
of
students
attending
public
colleges
and
universities.
We
realized
when
we
were
going
through
this
process,
that
it's
not
just
the
children
that
are
struggling.
It's
it
also
is
the
higher
education
institutions
that
are
seeing
a
rise,
and
so
we
we
didn't,
we
didn't
want
didn't
we
didn't
want
to
leave
them
out
before.
C
I
close,
I
just
like
to
urge
members
of
the
committee
to
read
the
support
supporting
written
testimony
by
lauren
porter.
She
helped
me
present
the
bill
in
the
assembly,
but
was
able
was
unable
to
attend
today
and
she
has
been
a
great
resource,
she's,
a
she's,
a
nevada
state
college
student
and
and
was
a
great
help
when,
when
putting
this
bill
together.
A
Just
so
I'm
clear
you,
yours
is
specific
as
far
as
what
gets
put
on
the
card.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
glenn
levitt,
for
the
record
yeah,
mr
chair.
So
we
worked.
We
worked
very
closely
with
the
school
districts
and
the
suicide
prevention,
or
actually
the
crisis
support
center.
When
you're
talking
about
student
ids
of
k
through
12,
they
already
have
a
a
hotline
number
on
there
safe
voice
which
does
a
different
purpose.
C
So
we
worked
very
closely
to
try
and
figure
out
and
draw
in
real
closely
what
what
we
wanted
to
put
on
there,
and
we
thought
it
was
important
to
have
a
text
option
as
well,
and
and
so
these
these
two,
these,
these
two
hotline
numbers
will
be
simultaneously
put
on
the
ids
and
it
we
just
found
it
helpful
to
to
contact
us.
The
crisis
support
center
figure
out
which
hotline
number
was
exactly
what
what
they
needed.
A
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Does
this
process
work
in
our
smaller
counties.
D
C
C
A
Any
other
questions:
okay,
let's
go
then
to
anybody
wishing
to
give
testimony
and
support
here
in
the
room,
no
one's
coming
forward.
So
if
we
could
go
to
those
online.
F
F
G
Hello
and
thank
you,
committee,
chair
dennis
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
hava
ahmed
h-a-w-a-h-a-h-m-a-d
and
I'm
here
representing
the
clark
county
education
association.
The
clark
county
education
association
represents
more
than
eighteen
thousand
licensed
professionals
in
clark,
county
school
district,
including
mental
and
behavioral
health
professionals.
G
We
are
the
largest
independent
teachers
union
in
the
country
and
in
the
state
of
nevada.
We
engage
in
bipartisan
advocacy
for
advancing
public
education
in
nevada.
Ccea
is
in
support
of
ad167,
and
we
ask
that
this
bill
be
merged,
with
sb
249,
to
provide
specific
specificity
for
the
type
of
resource
required
on
a
student
identification
card.
Additionally,
ccea
is
in
support
of
section
1
subsection
2
of
this
bill,
in
which
a
successful
organization
may
be
placed
on
the
card.
G
Should
the
national
suicide
prevention
lifeline
change
and
allows
for
this
data
to
be
shared
with
state
voice
to
provide
follow-up
and
wrap-around
services
if
needed
to
our
students.
The
cover
19
pandemic
has
exacerbated
the
mental
health
crisis
of
our
students.
Our
students
face
every
day.
It
is
about
time
that
we
as
nevadans
stand
together
and
give
our
students
the
resources
they
need.
G
Should
they
require
crisis
support
in
times
of
suicidal
ideation,
by
ensuring
that
information
in
the
national
suicide
prevention,
lifeline
call
and
number
and
text
messaging
option
are
readily
accessible
on
the
back
of
every
student
id
students
will
be
given
one
more
resource
that
will
help
promote
the
destigmatization
of
mental
illness
and
stimulate
discussion
on
the
subject
matter
at
the
most
crucial
causes
of
this
bill
is
the
availability
of
information
for
texting.
Many
of
our
students
that
are
connected
in
the
digital
age
are
more
comfortable
with
texting
than
phone
calls.
G
If
the
difference
between
saving
a
child's
life
is
a
text
or
a
phone
call,
then
why
not
make
sure
every
option
is
available
as
we
return
to
the
new
normal,
we
must
invest
in
our
students.
Mental
and
behavioral
health
students
who
are
experiencing
suicidal
ideation
do
not
necessarily
need
to
be
alone
in
their
time
of
need.
Instead,
they
need
a
direct
connection
with
their
food-based
program
to
prevent
the
substantial
step
to
suicide.
G
If
there
is
anything
we
have
learned
over
the
last
year,
it
is
that
every
policy
created
by
this
legislature
must
aggressively
address
the
issue
and
must
be
equitable
of
equitable.
Excuse
me
across
every
racial
and
ethnic
group,
ccea
feels
that
ad167
is
the
first
step
we
can
utilize
to
destigmatize
suicide,
provide
an
immediate
resource
and
link
to
that
data
into
that.
Excuse
me
that
provides
data
into
existing
programs
to
provide
comprehensive
intervention.
Ccea
respectfully
asks
this
committee
to
help
our
educators
by
ensuring
this
very
specific
resource
is
available
to
students.
Thank
you.
F
B
B
It
will
be
an
needed
resource
for
our
students
most
in
need.
Students
need
to
know
that,
no
matter
what
they're
going
through
in
life,
someone
is
there
to
listen
to
them.
Providing
the
number
of
the
crisis
support
center
on
the
back
of
student
ids
keeps
the
important
information
at
the
tip
of
their
fingers
available
for
whenever
they
may
need
it.
B
F
B
Chair
dennis
and
members
of
the
senate
committee
on
education,
anthony
ruiz
and
thony
ruiz,
representing
nevada,
state
college,
we
are
in
full
support
of
ab167
and
want
to
thank
us,
solomon
levitt,
for
bringing
this
important
bill
forward.
Mental
health
is
a
top
priority
for
our
campus.
Adding
adding
the
lifeline
number
on
the
backs
of
cards
is
something
we
recently
started
doing
and
we
applaud
the
efforts
of
this
bill
to
expand
this
important
initiative
statewide
and,
as
the
supplement
mentioned,
we're
also
proud
to
have
nursing
student
lauren
porter.
B
Having
helped
present
this
bill
in
assembly.
She
could
not
attend
today's
hearing
because
it's
actually
finals
weekend
out
of
state
she
has
submitted
written
testimony
that
I
encourage
you
to
look
at
if
you
want
to
look
further
into
this
bill
and
it's
already
posted
on
nellis
and
so
with
that
I'll
end
and
urge
your
support
baby
167..
Thank
you.
F
A
Okay:
let's
go
to
those
wishing
to
give
testimony
in
opposition
anybody
here
in
the
room.
No
one's
coming
forward
go
ahead
and
let's
go
to
the
first
one
online.
F
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Let's
come
back
before
your
final
comment.
We
have
at
least
one
question
that
I
know
of
senator
dunderloop.
D
C
D
Well,
that's
a
good
thing
so,
if
I
should
say
so,
myself
well.
D
But
I
don't.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
the
record
clearly-
and
I
don't
believe
it's
a
peer-to-peer-
is
the
state
department
of
ed
on
the
line.
Could
they
clarify
that,
maybe
for
us
I
I
absolutely.
A
See
we
got
could
be
wrong.
F
Yes,
good
good
afternoon,
this
is
christy
mcgill
for
the
record
director
of
the
office
of
safe
and
respectful
learning.
While
peer-to-peer
is
a
component
of
safe
voice,
safe
voice
is
actually
a
24
7
text
and
hotline
that
is
manned
by
the
department
of
public
safety.
So
if
students
or
if
the
community
have
any
school
safety
or
personal
safety
concerns,
so
that
they
can
call
and
get
direct
get
help
as
they
need.
A
D
E
H
C
C
I
I
just
thank
you
for
for
hearing
this,
this
this
measure
and
and
I'd
just
like
to
get
on
the
record.
I
I
have
no,
I
have
no
opposition
to
amending
this
bill
or
merging
this
bill
really
or
some
parts
of
this
bill
with
it
with
another
bill
it
it's
my
understanding
that
may
have
some
duplicated
efforts
in
it,
and
I
don't
want
to
do
that,
and
so
just
so,
just
so
you're
aware,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
to
to
do
that.
A
Thank
you
very
much
all
right
with
that.
We
will
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
ab167.
Thank
you
for
being
with
here
with
us,
and
since
we
have
everybody
here,
just
wanna
make
sure
for
the
record.
Senator
lang
and
senator
donate
are
are
here,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
they
would
be
back
so
we
are
now
going
to
go
to
work
session
and
we're
just
going
to
go
in
order.
So
we're
going
to
start
with
ab67
I'm
going
to
ask
ms
sturm
if
she
would
walk
us
through
the
work
session.
I
I
I
Oh
yeah,
is
that
better,
okay,
significant
suspension,
expulsion
and
permanent
expulsion.
The
bill
allows
a
people
with
a
disability
to
be
suspended,
expelled
or
permanently
expelled
under
certain
circumstances,
in
compliance
with
federal
law.
Additionally,
ab67
provides
that
only
significant
suspensions
can
be
considered
when
determining
if
a
pupil
should
be
deemed
a
habitual
disciplinary
problem.
In
extraordinary
circumstances,
a
school
may
request
an
exception
to
the
prohibition
on
permanently
expelling
a
pupil
less
than
11
years
of
age.
I
I
The
first
one
restores
the
language
in
subsection,
1
of
section
23
regarding
educational
options,
for
pupils
following
a
suspension,
explosion
or
permanent
explosion
from
the
school,
and
the
second
amendment
would
allow
for
the
adoption
of
any
regulations
necessary
to
carry
out
provisions
of
the
bill
and
mr
chair,
I
understand
that
the
department
is
submitting
another,
an
additional
amendment.
In
addition
to
the
two
that
I
just
read,
and
I
believe
we
have
deputy
felicia
gonzalez
on
the
line
today,
to
explain
that
additional
amendment.
A
Do
we
have
questions
senator
john
derrell
loop.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
ms
gonzalez.
I
have
a
couple
questions
if,
if
a
student
is
if
they
are
excluded
from
a
public
school,
would
that
include
the
alternative
schools
within
the
school
district?
F
Felicia
gonzalez,
for
the
record
and
this
this
amendment
further
clarifies
that
a
student
who
is
expelled
may
turn
may
attend
an
alternative
program
that
is
provided
by
that
very
school
district.
D
A
Any
other
questions
on
this
amendment,
since
you
don't
this
one,
it's
not
a
in
a
written
form,
although
I
believe
you
I
made
available
copy
of
an
email,
but
our
legal
staff
will
put
together
the
actual
amendment
all
right.
If
there's
no
other
questions,
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
A
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
you
know
the
the
same
groups.
I
think
that
have
been
reaching
out
to
senator
donderol
lupe.
I
I
think
I've
spoken
to
a
few
of
them
and
I
think
that
the
amendments
that
have
been
proposed,
especially
the
oral
amendment
today,
probably
satisfies
the
the
the
worry
but
just
to
make
sure
I
I'm
going
to
support
the
measure
today,
because
I
think
it's
exactly
what's
needed,
but
just
reserve
just
in
case
and
have
those
discussions
afterwards.
A
And
we'll
get
a
an
amendment
back
at
some
point,
so
everybody
can
take
a
look
at
that
any
further
discussion-
and
I
I
do
have
a
comment
just
to
I
appreciate
folks
keeping
an
eye
on
that.
To
make
sure
we
didn't
want.
The
intent
was
never
to
a
child
that
that's
you
know
being
kicked
out
of
a
school
that
we
still
want
him
to
be
able
to
learn
and
help
that
opportunity,
and
I
think
that
that
will
do
that
and
of
course
the
rest
of
the
bill
is
important.
A
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair
john
sturm
committee
policy.
Analyst.
The
next
bill
on
work
session
is
assembly
bill
88,
which
was
presented
by
assemblyman
watts
on
april
28th.
The
bill
requires
the
board
of
trustees
of
each
school
district,
the
governing
body
of
each
charter
school
and
the
governing
body
of
each
university
school
for
the
profoundly
gifted
to
change
and
adopt
policies
prohibiting
the
use
of
any
name,
logo,
mascot
song
or
other
identifier,
that
is
racial,
racially
discriminatory
or
contains
racially
discriminatory
language
or
imagery.
I
However,
an
identifier
associated
with
a
federally

also
requires
the

board
on
geographic
names,
to
recommend
changing
the

of
any
geographic
feature
or
place
in
the
state
that
is
racially
discriminatory
or
that
contains

discriminatory
language

imagery.
The
board
must
submit
an
annual
report
to
the
legislature
on
any
such
recommended
changes,
and
we
have
a
couple
proposed
amendments
from
assemblyman

I
The

a
mock-up
to
the
work

which
prohibits
the

and
the
second
amendment
would
add,

A
A
A
Okay,

and
let's
do.

I
Thank
you,
mr

gemstorm
committee
policy.
Analyst.
The
next
bill
on
work
session
is
ab109,
which
was
sponsored
by
assemblywoman,
gorlo
and
heard
by
this
committee
on
april.
30Th.
The
bill
requires
that
at
least
80
percent
of
all
teachers
who
provide
instruction
at
a
charter
school
hold
a
license
or
endorsement
to
teach
in
nevada.
I
Additionally,
any
teacher
providing
instruction
in
a
core
academic
subject:
english
as
a
second
language
or
special
education,
must
be
licensed
to
teach
in
nevada.
Non-Licensed
instructors
must
meet
certain
requirements
to
be
authorized
to
provide
instruction.
The
bill
also
provides
that
a
teacher
employed
at
a
charter
school
on
or
before
july,
1st
2021,
who
does
not
have
a
license
to
teach,
may
continue
teaching
at
the
charter
school
without
a
license
until
july.
1St
2026,
and
there
are
no
amendments
proposed
at
this
time.
Mr
chair.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
spoke
with
the
chair
of
assembly,
ed
and
and
several
other
people
I
this
came
out
of
our
committee
as
a
hundred
percent
and
we've
backed
it
off
to
80..
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
good
starting
place,
but
I
would
still,
as
a
teacher,
remind
the
public-
and
I
just
want
this
on
the
record-
that
you
know
we
we
have
licenses
for
a
reason.
We
don't
hire
firemen
who
don't
aren't
certified.
We
don't
hire
electricians
and
polymer
plumbers
without
a
license.
D
So
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
keep
that
in
mind
that
we're
teaching
the
future
of
our
of
with
our
children,
so
I'm
willing
to
vote
for
this
at
80
percent,
but
I'd
I'd
really
like
us
to
keep
that
in
mind.
Moving
forward
as
we
work
on
this
in
the
interim.
E
Hi,
thank
you
chair.
I
would
like
to
ditto
the
senator
don
darrell
loops
comments
as
a
teacher
who
had
to
go
to
school,
to
become
a
teacher
and
to
get
a
license
and
take
particular
classes.
E
It
is
troublesome
to
me
that
we
are
making
different
decisions
for
charter
schools
than
we
do
for
the
regular
for
our
public
schools,
and
I
think
that
every
job
that
everyone
any
any
job
that
people
go,
they
have
to
be
trained
for
that
job
so
that
they
can
do
it
at
the
best
that
they
are
able,
and
so
it's
troubling
to
me
that
we're
going
to
eighty
percent.
I
too
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
today,
but
I
think
this
is
something
we
really
need
to
keep
in
mind.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I
think
it's
nice
to
have
a
certificate
and
have
a
license.
I
think,
realistically,
sometimes
over
the
years
that
I've
been
in
this
body,
we
have
talked
at
great
length,
as
we
do
in
this
committee,
sometimes
about
the
reality
of
some
people,
have
experiences
in
the
real
world
and
then
are
recruited
to
come
into
the
schools
and
share
their
experiences.
J
We
have
teach
for
america,
we've,
we've
done
all
sorts
of
things
with
auto
mechanics
with
science
with
auto
mechanics,
not
just
auto
mechanics,
but
the
trades
and-
and
so
I
think,
if
we
put
hard
numbers
on
this,
you
know
it's
nice
to
have
everybody
certified
it's
nice
to
everybody
have
a
license.
The
reality
is
sometimes
there
are
people
who
have
a
license
that
aren't
as
good
a
teacher
as
somebody
who
does
so.
I
will
be
voting
no
on
this.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
and-
and
I
appreciate
my
colleague
to
the
left
in
his
comments,
but
I'm
not
going
to
a
doctor
that
doesn't
have
a
license
so
with
that
being
said,
I
would
just
add
one
thing.
I
know
for
a
fact,
because
I've
worked
on
it
in
the
last
10
years.
We
have
extremely
flexible
teaching
license
capabilities
in
this
state.
We
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
of
different
avenues,
and
so
I
would
just
like
that
to
be
on
the
record
as
well.
B
Thank
you,
chair
dennis.
I
know
that
we're
for
we're
facing
a
national
teacher
shortage
where
we
don't
have
teachers
in
classrooms
and
so
inherently
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
avenue
to
bring
teachers
to
our
classrooms
and
until
we
fund
for
charter
schools,
facility
funds.
H
B
E
A
Okay,
let's
go
to
oh,
let's
see
senator
lang.
Would
you
do
that
the
floor
statement?
I
I
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair
jen
sturm
for
the
record
next
bill
on
work
session
is
assembly
bill
169,
which
is
which
was
presented
by
assemblywoman
considine
on
april
28th.
The
bill
requires
licensed
private
post-secondary
institutions
to
one
limit
where
recruiting
activities
take
place
and
two
provide
applicants
with
certain
information
prior
to
signing
an
enrollment
agreement.
Such
institutions
must
also
provide
each
student
with
a
copy
of
the
enrollment
agreement
and
certain
other
information,
including
a
disclosure,
page
cancellation
policy
and
a
complaint
policy
and
mr
chair.
There
are
no
proposed
amendments
at
this
time.
A
Any
discussion
senator
donate.
B
Thank
you
so
much
chair.
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
shout
out
to
the
assemblywoman
for
bringing
this
forward.
B
I
distinctly
remember
being
harassed
by
colleges
when
I
was
a
senior
in
high
school
colleges
that
I
never
heard
of,
and
you
could
tell
that
they
definitely
target
some
students
more
than
others,
especially
don't
if
you
don't
score
as
high
on
the
sat
their
act
and
they
try
to
hide
the
fact
of
how
much
it
would
cost
to
go
to
college
and
if
I
would
have
felt
for
that,
I
would
have
been
thousands
of
dollars
in
that.
So
I
think
it's
definitely
needed
and
again
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
A
Second
was
centered
on
daryl
loop.
I
think
any
further
discussion
just
that.
I
too
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
know
that
there
are
there's
some
really
good
schools
out
there
and
then
there's
others
that
we
need
to
really
keep
an
eye
on,
and
this
will
help
us
to
do
that
and
make
it
a
little
safer
for
people.
So
thank
you.
Senator
yeah
senator
blank.
E
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
of
us
say
motion
carries
senator
donate.
Would
you
do
the
floor
statement
and
let's
go
to
ab194.
I
I
The
bill
requires
the
board
of
trustees
of
each
school
district
and
the
governing
body
of
each
charter
school
or
university
school
for
profoundly
gifted
pupils
to
adopt
a
policy
for
appealing
the
suspension
or
expulsion
of
a
pupil.
The
bill
specifies
certain
limitations
and
other
requirements
that
must
be
included
in
the
policy
and
provides
that
appeal
hearings
are
not
subject
to
nevada's
open
meeting
law.
The
policy
must
be
posted
on
the
websites
of
the
school
districts
and
of
individual
schools.
I
The
bill
also
provides
that
a
people
who
is
suspended
or
expelled
or
who
is
being
considered
for
suspension
or
expulsion
is
entitled
to
be
educated
in
the
least
restrictive
environment
possible.
Additionally,
ab194
requires
the
annual
report
of
accountability
submitted
by
each
school
district
and
charter
school,
sponsor
to
include
information
on
the
plan
for
restorative
justice.
The
process
in
which
progressive
discipline
is
used
and
the
manner
in
which
school
employees
are
trained
on
restorative
justice
and
progressive
discipline.
I
A
Discussion-
this
is
one
of
those
I
think
there
was
a
trio
of
these
that
were
restorative
justice.
This
is
one
of
those
further
discussion,
if
not
I'll,
entertain,
emotion,.
A
We
have,
this
is
a
do
pass
and
we
have
a
second
percentage.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair
jen.
Sturm
for
the
record.
The
next
bill
on
work
session
is
assembly,
bill
195,
which
was
presented
by
assemblywoman
torres
on
my
fifth.
The
bill
requires
the
board
of
trustees
of
each
school
district
to
determine
the
number
of
enrolled
pupils,
who
are
one
immigrants,
two
refugees
and
three
new,
short-term
and
long-term
english
learners
and
four
other
english
learners,
such
as
those
with
individualized
education
programs
who
are
enrolled
in
certain
programs.
I
I
The
bill
also
enumerates
the
rights
of
pupils,
who
are
english
learners
and
the
rights
of
parents
or
guardians
of
pupils
who
are
english
learners.
Ab195
requires
the
board
of
trustees
of
each
school
district
to
provide
a
parent
or
guardian
with
the
enumerated
rights
in
writing
in
both
english
and
the
person's
primary
language.
At
the
time
of
the
people's
registration,
the
bill
requires
the
board
of
trustees
and
each
school
that
enrolls
pupils,
who
are
english
learners
to
post
a
copy
of
the
rights
on
their
respective
internet
websites
in
as
many
languages
as
possible.
I
Additionally,
the
bill
requires
the
board
of
trustees
of
each
school
district
to
post
on
its
internet
website.
Information
on
how
the
school
district
spent
funds,
including
information
on
family
engagement
and
wraparound
services
received
pursuant
to
title
iii
of
the
every
student,
succeeds
act
of
2015..
I
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair.
Do
these
amendments
delete
the
fiscal
notes.
B
K
B
Is
asher
killian
committee
counselor
may
be
able
to
clarify
on
that.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair
ashrae
council.
So
this
bill
did
receive
a
notice
of
eligibility
for
exemption
in
the
other
house,
but
was
not
referred
to
the
money
committee
in
the
other
house,
so
that
notice
did
not
become
effective
or
I'm
sorry
that
exemption
did
not
become
effective.
It
has
not
been
to
ways
in
the
other
house.
D
B
I
think
thank
you,
mr
asher
killian
community
council.
I
believe
the
fiscal
impacts
of
this
bill
are
mostly
on
the
local
level,
so
it
would
be.
It
would
be
up
to
the
discretion
of
the
the
finance
chair
as
to
whether
he
intends
to
pull
it
in
or
not,
but
I
don't
think
it
would
have
to.
It
would
be
at
his
discretion
when
it
gets
to
the
floor.
A
A
A
L
Yes,
so
I'm
not
sure
who
directed
the
question.
I
was
in
some
other
meetings
dealing
with
some
other
fires
for
bills
this
afternoon,
but
I
will
say
to
the
fiscal
notes.
I
have
worked
it
out
with
the
districts.
I
don't
know.
L
So
they
should
be
present,
so
they
can
address
the
fact
that
there
is
currently
no
fiscal
note
on
the
piece
of
legislation.
Additionally,
I've
worked
with
the
nevada
department
of
education.
They
agree
that
there
is
no
fiscal
note
on
the
bill.
So
if
the
nevada
department
of
education
would
like
to
address
it,
they
may.
A
L
Someone
tourist
for
the
record,
if
I
could
respond
to
that
senator
so
a
lot
of
the
fiscal
note
was
removed
after
working
on
the
amendment
in
the
first
house,
so
you'll
note
that
the
physical
notes
were
placed
on
the
piece
of
legislation
in
the
first
house
before
the
amendments
were
made.
After
the
first
resist
revision
was
made,
those
physical
notes
have
been
removed,
which
is
why
it
was
not
referred
to
ways
on
means.
D
A
B
B
Yes,
carl
wilson
for
the
record
nevada
department
of
education
services
for
english
learners.
It
is
my
understanding
that,
in
negotiations
with
assemblywoman
forest,
that
the
fiscal
nodes
attached
to
the
nevada
department
of
education
have
been
removed,.
L
Assembly
and
tourists
for
the
record.
You
know
I
can't
speak
for
the
school
districts,
but
I've
worked
diligently
with
the
school
districts
and
the
school
districts
have
removed.
The
fiscal
note
as
well
part
of
the
note
that
you'll
see
is
so
in
the
original
first
draft
of
the
legislation.
It
does
say
that
they
need
to
provide
translating
services
for
interactions
with
the
school
district.
L
There
was
a
clarification
made
in
the
amendment
in
the
first
house,
and
you
know
this
is
this
was
made
in
the
first
house
to
help
accommodate
the
school
districts
to
say
that
it
was
only
in
critical
interactions.
That's
actually
required
by
federal
law,
so
they're
already
providing
translating
services
by
federal
law
and
that's
in
title
three.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I,
for
example,
I'm
looking
at
the
clark
county
school
district
and
it
says
they'll-
need
to
hire
translators
and
interpreters
and
purchase
a
language
service
provider.
So
are
you?
Are
you
suggesting
that
that's
part
of
title
three
and
they're
already
doing
that,
but
they
put
a
fiscal
note
in
anyway.
L
Someone
told
the
record
through
the
chair
to
the
senator,
so
once
again
the
that
part
of
the
bill
was
amended
in
the
first
house.
The
piece
of
legislation
you're
looking
at
no
longer
has
the
physical
note,
because
it
was
amended
in
the
first
house.
D
L
Targets
for
the
record,
if
I
may
so
that
piece
of
the
legislation
that
was
significantly
amended,
you'll
note
that
the
physical
notes
were
put
in
place
before
even
the
hearing
in
the
assembly
side,
and
so
now
we're
two
months
out
and
thanks
to
the
work
that
I
have
done
with
the
nevada
department
of
education
and
the
individual
school
districts.
And
you
know
really
it's
been.
It's
been
a
team
effort.
I
have
met
with
miss
prezinski,
who
represents
the
roles
I've
met
with.
You
know
mr
keating,
mr
benavidez,
and
miss
anderson
significantly.
A
Thank
you
and
usually
they
would
be
here
and
I
would
call
them
up,
but
I
don't
see
them,
they
don't
believe
they're
on
they're,
not
on
the
zoom
link
unless
they're
on
audio,
which
they
might
be.
But
one
thing
that
we
could
do
is
I
mean
we
could
do
the
didn't.
Do
the
bill
and
just
you
know,
reserve
your
right.
A
A
L
And
I
will
ask
the
districts
to
reach
out
to
the
committee
to
ensure
that
there
is
no
physical
but,
as
I
said,
I
worked
pretty
diligently
with
the
nevada
department
of
education
and
the
school
districts
to
remove
that
physical
note.
A
M
M
N
Chair,
I
I
know
for
a
fact.
I
was
working
with
assemblyman
torres
through
this
process
as
well,
and
the
way
that
it
didn't
end
up
going
to
ways
and
means
is
because.
E
F
A
B
A
Okay,
I'll,
I
I
just
a
comment
I
do
appreciate.
I
think
the
important
thing
is
also
getting
the
information
so
that
we
can
be
able
to
make
decisions
and
see
how
things
are
working
and
with
our
second
language
students.
I
think
that
that's
important,
so
I
think
this
this
moves
us
forward
in
that
respect.
A
So
with
that
all
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed
saying
a
motion
carries
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Would
you
do
that.
I
I
The
bill
requires
nevada's
department
of
education
to
adopt
regulations
requiring
school
districts
that
offer
courses
for
an
adult
to
earn
a
high
school
diploma
to
allow
a
person
who
has
not
received
a
high
school
diploma
to
enroll.
If
the
person,
one
is
at
least
18
years
of
age,
two
meets
the
requirements
for
participation
in
the
statewide
program
of
education
for
incarcerated
persons
or
three
is
at
least
17
years
of
age
and
has
attended
at
least
four
years
of
high
school.
At
this
time.
There
are
no
proposed
amendments,
mr
chair.
A
This
is
a
do
pass
right.
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
to
do
pass,
senator
senator
lang,
and
we
have
a
second
about
senator
buck.
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposing
a
motion
carries
okay,
let's
go
to,
let's
see.
A
How
about
senator
hardy
would
you
do
the
floor
statement
on
that?
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair
jen.
Sturm
for
the
record.
The
next
bill
on
work
session
is
assembly
bill
235,
which
is
sponsored
by
assemblywoman
miller.
The
committee
heard
this
bill
on
may
5th.
The
bill
requires
the
board
of
trustees
of
a
school
district
and
the
governing
body
of
a
charter
school
or
private
school
that
operates
a
high
school
to
provide
one
education
to
pupils
on
the
importance
of
financial
planning
and
completing
the
free
application
for
federal
student
aid
or
fafsa,
as
well
as
information
on
the
nevada
college.
I
A
Okay,
this
was,
I
appreciate
the
the
assembly
woman
bringing
this.
I
think
it
will
help
us
get
more
kids
to
realize
that
they
can
go
to
college.
Sometimes
they
just
need
a
little
bit
of
help
to
get
the
paperwork
done,
and
sometimes
that
just
slows
down
a
lot
of
kids
when
they
don't
have,
especially
if
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
support
another
at
home,
but
this
will
give
them
some
additional
help.
So
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion-
okay,
I'll
entertain.
E
B
Thank
you
much
thank
you
so
much
chair,
dennis
and,
of
course,
to
the
assemblywoman
for
bringing
this
forward.
B
I
think
I
shared
with
her
that
you
know
my
original
concerns
were
just
on
language
access
and
making
sure
that
parents
and
students
have
the
information
that
they
need,
but
we
have
to
start
somewhere,
and
this
is
a
good
bill
that
we
can
have
for
the
core
foundation
on
getting
this
forward,
and
I
hope
that
the
districts
that
are
watching
right
now
realize
that
even
if
it's
not
a
mandate
to
have
information
accessible
beyond
spanish
and
other
languages,
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
you
should
work
on
that.
So
thank
you.
A
I
I
The
bill
prohibits
public
or
private
post-secondary
institutions
or
the
national
collegiate
athletic
association
or
nc2a
from
one
preventing
a
student
athlete
from
being
compensated
for
the
use
of
the
student's
name,
image
or
likeness,
or
obtaining
professional
services,
with
certain
exceptions,
two
compensating
the
student
athlete
for
those
components
when
related
to
the
official
activities
of
the
institution
or
the
nc2a,
three
altering
a
student's
scholarship
award.
Due
to
such
compensation
and
four
disallowing
the
students
participation
in
intercollegiate
sports
for
such
compensation
or
use
of
services.
I
Finally,
ab254
requires
the
legislative
committee
on
education
to
appoint
a
committee
to
conduct
an
interim
study
concerning
collegiate
athletics,
bylaws
and
state
and
federal
laws
related
to
compensating
student
athletes
for
the
use
of
their
name
image
or
likeness,
and
there
are
no
proposed
amendments
at
this
time.
Mr
chair.
A
I'll
entertain
a
motion
senator
hammond.
This
is
a
do
pass
correct,
senator
lange.
Second,
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
info,
say
nay
motion
carries
senator
hammond.
Would
you
be
the
floor
right?
Let's
do
ap
258.
I
I
Currently,
the
las
vegas
clark
county
library
district,
the
bill
requires
the
trustees
to
one
establish
the
educational
qualifications
of
the
executive
director,
which
may
include,
without
limitation,
holding
a
master's
degree
in
library
and
information
science
and
two
appoint
evaluate
the
performance
of
and,
if
necessary,
dismiss
an
internal
auditor,
and
there
are
no
proposed
amendments
at
this
time.
Mr
chair.
E
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
bill,
but
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
record
that
I
had
some
board
members
contact
me
that
were
not
in
agreement
with
this,
and
I
think
it
was
in
testimony
said
that
the
board
members
agreed,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
on
the
record
that
there
was
a
difference
of
opinion.
A
Thank
you-
and
I
actually
did
some
research
on
on
this
and
actually
looked
up
the
minutes,
because
it
was
mentioned
that
they
voted
on
this
and
it
actually
was
a
split
vote
on
actually
there's
two
different
votes.
One
was
on
the
auditor
and
one
was
on
the
the
qualification
issue,
but
it
did
pass
the
board.
Additionally,
I
I
had
questions
about
using
an
internal
auditor
because
I'd
never
really.
You
know
I
previously.
A
I
actually
served
on
this
board
and
so
I'm
familiar
with
how
library
boards
function,
you
know,
being
that
we
have
one
of
the
largest
library
districts
in
in
the
country.
It
really
is
a
huge
undertaking,
so
I
can
see
why
you
would
want
to
have
some
additional
qualifications
and
as
far
as
the
internal
auditor,
that's
something
that
I
think
city
government
uses
to
kind
of
keep
an
eye
on
some
things
and
well.
I
don't
know
that
anybody
has
done
this.
I
think
this.
A
E
And
I
would
also
add
chair
that
I
think
that
using
the
internal
auditor-
and
they
also
do
have
a
board
so
the
board
oversees
the
process.
So
there
is
a
checks
and
balances
there.
A
E
A
I
think
we
have
do
pass
from
center
blank
second
from
senator
don
darrell
loop
and
it
is
a
do
pass
right.
Yep
all
right.
Further
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed
dna
motion
carries
all
right.
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
take
this
one
for
the
floor
session,
since
I
didn't
think
any
other
ones:
okay,
wow.
We
did
a
lot
of
work
today,
but
we
still
have
one
more
build
here.
H
Thank
you,
chair,
leslie
cohen,
representing
assembly,
district
29
and
with
me,
is
assemblywoman
lisa
krasner,
who
will
present
after
I
conclude
so
I'll,
just
get
right
into
it.
So
why
is
assembly
bill
231
necessary
when,
in
1989
the
legislature
created
the
governor's
advisory
council
on
education
relating
to
the
holocaust?
H
I
think
all
teachers
who
have
seen
this
will
tell
you,
there's
just
really
something
amazing
that
happens
when
students
of
any
age
meet
with
survivors,
there's
a
bomb.
That's
formed
and
the
students
see
how
acts
of
racism
and
xenophobia
impact
communities
and
how
they
have
a
duty
to
stand
up
for
what's
right
in
the
world,
and
these
meetings
really
change
students
in
a
good
way.
H
For
instance,
a
2020
survey
from
echoes
and
reflections,
which
is
a
partnership
program
of
the
anti-defamation
league,
the
usc,
showa
foundation
and
yad
vashem,
shows
that
education
is
the
key
to
combating
hate.
In
this
study.
H
But
not
everyone
gets
that
education
and
a
recent
survey
of
holocaust
knowledge
among
american
millennials
reported,
among
other
significant
findings
that
almost
half
of
millennials
believe
that
fewer
than
2
million
jewish
people
were
killed
during
the
holocaust,
and
that
misunderstanding
of
what
the
holocaust
is
is
particularly
disturbing.
When
considering
how
anti-semitism
is
impacting
our
communities
in
2019,
the
fbi
reported
that
jews
and
jewish
institutions
were
the
overwhelming
target
of
religion-based
hate
crimes
in
2018
and-
and
that's
that's
been
the
case
every
year
since
1991.
H
According
to
the
fbi,
however,
as
as
has
been
stated
before
quote,
better
understanding
of
the
holocaust
is
not
only
important
for
fighting.
Anti-Semitism
is
also
important
for
fighting
hate
against
all
marginalized
communities.
H
Today,
hate
crimes
and
anti-semite,
anti-semitic
incidents
are
at
a
historically
high
level,
so,
but
unfortunately,
as
time
goes
on,
as
I
said,
we're
losing
our
survivors
and
our
teachers.
Just
don't
have
guidance
on
how
to
teach
this
overwhelming
and
emotional
subject,
but
we
must
teach
it
because
the
world
is
starting
to
forget.
H
So
today,
most
of
the
evidence
we
have
about
the
horrors
of
the
holocaust.
We
have
because
general
dwight
d
eisenhower
feared
that
if
he
didn't
save
the
evidence
that
later
generations
would
not
understand
and
believe
the
extent
of
the
depravity,
and
so
according
to
general,
eisenhower
quote,
but
the
most
interesting,
although
horrible
sight
that
I
encountered
during
the
trip,
was
a
visit
to
a
german
internment
camp
near
gotha,
the
things
I
saw,
beggar
description,
the
visual
evidence
and
the
verbal
testimony
of
starvation,
cruelty
and
bestiality
were
overpowering.
H
I
made
the
visit
deliberately
in
order
to
be
in
a
position
to
give
first-hand
evidence
of
these
things.
If
ever
in
the
future,
there
develops
a
tendency
to
charge
these
allegations
to
merely
propaganda.
End
quote
and
then,
in
that
same
letter,
when
general
eisenhower
wrote
that
he
even
noted
how
general
george
patton
was
overwhelmed
by
what
they
saw.
According
to
general,
eisenhower
quote
in
one
room
where
they
there
were
piled
up,
20
or
30
naked
men
killed
by
starvation.
H
George
patton
would
not
even
enter.
He
said
he
would
get
sick
if
he
did
so
and
quote
so.
General
eisenhower
was
correct.
We
do
see
denial
happening
and
so
and
that's
even
happening
from
teachers
who
are
supposed
to
be
teaching
about
the
holocaust
so
and
then
just
so,
we've
got
a
definition.
H
What
exactly
is
the
holocaust
holocaust,
also
known
as
the
showa
was
the
genocide
of
european
jews
during
world
war
ii
between
1941
and
1945,
nazi
germany
and
its
collaborators
systematically
murdered
some
six
million
jews
across
german
occupied
europe,
which
was
two-thirds
of
europe's
jewish
population
and
90
of
polish
jews
were
murdered
in
the
holocaust,
and
the
murders
were
carried
out
in
pogroms
and
mass
shootings
by
a
policy
of
extermination
through
work
and
concentration
camps
and
in
gas
chambers
and
gas
vans
in
the
german
extermination
camps.
H
But
there
were
also
five
million
others
who
were
victims
of
the
nazis
because
of
who
they
were,
who
they
lived,
what
they
thought
their
religion
or
for
having
disabilities
and
according
to
yad
vashem,
which
is
the
world
holocaust
remembrance
center.
Numerous
people
fell
victim
to
the
nazi
regime
for
political,
social
or
racial
reasons.
H
Germans
were
among
the
first
victims,
persecuted
because
of
their
political
activities.
Many
died
in
concentration
camps,
but
most
were
released
after
their
spirit
was
broken
and
germans
with
mental
or
physical
handicap
were
killed
under
a
euthanasia
program.
Other
germans
were
incarcerated
for
being
homosexual
criminals
or
non-conformist.
H
H
The
people
of
poland,
russia,
the
ukraine,
yugoslavia,
czechoslovakia
and
bulgaria
were
also
deemed
racially
inferior
by
the
nazis.
Yet
it
was
not
racial
ideology
alone
that
determined
how
the
nazis
treated
this
particular
ethnic
group
and
the
polls
were
treated
terribly
by
the
nazis,
but
it
wasn't
a
a
target
for
annihilation.
H
So
with
that
I'll
just
go
through
the
bill
briefly
section
one
sub
one
requires
the
state
board
of
education
to
create
a
subcommittee
to
review
and
make
recommendations
on
the
manner
in
which
to
provide
age-appropriate
and
accurate
instruction
about
the
holocaust
and
other
genocides,
and
we
reference
some
other
genocides,
such
as
armenian
cambodian,
the
deafer
genocide,
guatemalan
and
rwandan
as
examples,
but
there's
just
dozens
of
genocides
in
the
modern
era.
H
Unfortunately,
and
the
instruction
will
be
in
social
studies
and
in
language
arts
courses,
sub
section
1
sub
2
includes
what
the
subcommittee's
review
must
include.
For
instance,
what
available
resources
are
there
for
classrooms?
How
to
modify
the
curricula
of
relevant
courses,
professional
development
and
consideration
of
other
states
similar
instructions?
H
Section
1,
sub
4,
is
the
makeup
of
the
subcommittee,
and
this
is
a
minimum
number.
The
the
subcommittee
could
grow
section.
1
sub
5
provides
the
requirement
that
an
even
number
of
years
the
board
will
report
the
findings
of
the
recommendations
to
the
legislative
committee
on
education,
with
recommendations
from
the
subcommittee
and
in
section
one
sub
six
in
odd
numbered
years.
The
legislative
committee
on
education
will
submit
the
report
to
the
director,
I'm
sorry,
the
legislative,
I'm
sorry.
H
The
legislative
committee
on
education
will
consider
the
report
and
submit
their
own
report
to
the
director
of
lcb,
with
any
recommendations
for
the
legis
for
possible
legislation
to
ensure
the
instruction
described
in
this
section
is
included
in
the
curricula
section.
One
sub
five
defines
genocide,
and,
with
that
before
we
take
questions,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague.
E
Good
afternoon,
chair
dennis
and
members
of
the
senate
education
committee,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
I
am
state
assembly,
woman,
lisa
krasner,
representing
nevada
district
26
for
the
record.
I
am
happy
to
be
here
today
with
assemblywoman
cohen,
to
co-present
ab231
on
holocaust
education.
E
The
holocaust
was
not
the
first
genocide
and
sadly
it
was
not
the
last,
but
it
was
the
first
time
genocide
had
been
carried
out
in
such
a
systematic
and
carefully
orchestrated
manner.
The
enormity
of
the
evil
of
six
million
jewish
people
and
gay
people,
persons
with
disabilities
and
others
murdered
because
of
their
identity
was
an
atrocity.
E
The
extent
of
collective
human
cruelty
and
the
utter
failure
of
morality
could
not
be
imagined
were
they
not
among
the
most
best
documented
historical
facts.
But
even
while
we
struggle
to
understand
the
ethical
imperative
of
never
again
is
crystal
clear.
We
must
not
allow
what
happened
to
the
jewish
people
to
ever
happen
again,
and
that
is
why
holocaust
education
is
so
important
so
that
we
never
forget
the
holocaust
as
time
passes,
memories
fade.
A
pew
study
released
in
2020
indicates
that
millennials
know
less
about
the
holocaust
than
previous
generations.
E
The
anti-defamation
league's
most
recent
global
100
poll
determined
that
only
an
estimated
54
of
the
entire
world's
population
has
even
heard
of
the
holocaust,
and
others
think
that
it's
not
important
anymore
matching.
This
trend
of
hate
incidents
of
anti-semitism
remain
alarmingly
high
and
hate
is
getting
more
violent
too.
As
we've
seen
over
the
past
few
years,
extremists
feel
emboldened
to
act
out
their
hate
against
jewish
people
and
other
groups.
E
The
connection
between
the
holocaust
knowledge
gap
and
the
rise
and
incidence
of
hate
is
clear,
but
so
too
is
the
solution.
Education,
education
is
instrumental
in
fighting
hate,
and
that
is
why
we
must
provide
more
recesses
for
excuse
me,
more
resources
for
and
improve
holocaust
and
genocide,
education
in
nevada
schools.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
would
appreciate
your
support
of.
E
A
Okay,
questions.
B
Thank
you
so
much
chair
denison
to
the
presenters.
You
know,
as
you
were,
presenting
this
bill,
I
was
reflecting
on
everything
that
I
learned
in
ccsd,
and
you
know
I
actually
learned
more
by
going
to
yad
vashem
and
the
dc
memorial,
the
dc
dc
museum-
and
you
know
that's
kind
of
a
shame.
I
wish
we
could
have
done
more
to
support
students
as
they're
going
throughout
their
progress,
and
you
know
what
I
like
about
the
bill.
B
It
talks
about
like
stimulating
the
reflection
on
how
what
we
do
as
a
society
can
reflect
on
our
actions
towards
others,
and
you
know
we
see
a
rise
of
anti-semitism
even
right
now,
as
we
speak,
given
current
events,
so
I
guess
my
my
question,
for
you
is:
are
we
planning
to
with
this
bill?
Are
we
planning
to
revise
how
we
talk
about
the
holocaust
through
different
grade
levels?
Not
just
in
the
u.s
history
course
that
students
take
in
high
school.
Like?
Is
this
a
multi-level
project?
That's
going
to
happen.
H
Thank
you,
leslie
cohen
assembly,
district
29,
it's
actually
through
through
the
through
english
and
social
studies,
but
it
is
looking
at
age,
age-appropriate,
education
throughout
the
students
time
in
the
district.
But
a
lot
of
that
will
be
left
up
to
the
the
subcommittee.
A
A
I
just
hadn't
thought
about
it
in
percentage-wise,
and
so
I
mean,
I
think,
the
fact
that
there's
just
a
lot
of
information-
and
we
don't,
as
you
mentioned,
don't
want
to
forget
it
and
as
we
lose
those
that
were
there,
it's
real
important
that
we
figure
out
a
way
to
be
able
to
maintain
that.
So
I
appreciate
the.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
just
I,
you
may
have
said
this,
but
I
may
have
missed
it.
The
members
of
the
book
of
this
counselor
or
this
advisory
board
that
you're
creating.
H
Thank
you,
leslie
cohen
assembly,
district
29.,
so
the
the
the
subcommittee
is
discussed
in
in
section
one
sub
four
and
it's
it's
composed
of
the
superintendent
of
public
instruction
or
designee,
and
then
on
top
of
that
it'll
be
three
members
from
the
governor's
advisory
council
on
education
relating
to
the
holocaust.
H
Three
members
from
non-profit
organizations
that
have
developed
curricula
regarding
the
holocaust
for
use
in
public
schools,
at
least
one
member
from
a
school
district
which
is
sixty
thousand
dollar
sixty
thousand
pupils
or
more
enrolled
one
member
from
a
school
district,
sixty
thousand
pupils
or
less
and
one
member
representing
charter
school
located
in
the
state,
then
one
member
and
again
this
is
at
least
one
member
representing
a
non-profit
organization
that
has
developed
curricula
for
use
in
public
schools
regarding
the
armenian
genocide
and
at
least
one
member
representing
a
nonprofit
organization.
H
That's
developed
curricula
for
use
in
a
public
school
regarding
genocides
other
than
the
holocaust
or
the
armenian
genocide,
so
that
we've
got
you
know.
Unfortunately,
as
I
said,
you
know,
we've
talked
about
it.
Wasn't
the
first
won't
be
the
you
know,
isn't
the
last,
but
we
want
to
get
kind
of,
even
though
the
holocaust
is
unique.
We
still
want
students
learning
about
all
all
genocides
or,
if
not
all,
because
that
would
be
extremely
difficult.
At
least
understanding
it's
happened
throughout
the
world.
It's
happened
throughout
time.
A
J
Hardy.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I'm
just
you
know.
We
we
obviously
have
tender
feelings
about.
This
yad
vashem
is
real.
The
whole
process
was
real,
but
I'm
wondering
when
we
start
looking
more
inwardly
at
ourselves
and
the
indigenous
people
of
the
americas,
you
know,
will
are
we
ignoring
them
or
are
we
going
to
have
that
part
of
the
cultural
experience
that
we
want
to
have
education
about.
H
Leslie
cohen
assembly
district
29-
I
I
don't
think
it's
a
zero-sum
game.
I
think
I
think
definitely
that
our
students
need
to
learn
about
native
americans
and,
and
you
know,
and
and
slavery
and
slavery
through
jim
crow
into
today
and
how
that's
affecting
us.
But
this
is
just
a
little
portion
of
what
our
students
should
be
learning.
A
very
specific
little
portion
doesn't
mean
that
other
issues
shouldn't
be
addressed
and,
and
our
students
shouldn't
be
made
aware
of
of
our
history
in
the
united
states
and
and
throughout
the
world.
A
The
way
I
read
section,
one
subsection
one,
it
says
such
as
so
it's
not
a
limit,
it's
it
gives
a
list
of
armenian
cambodian
nafar
guatemalan
rwandan,
but
before
that
it
says
historically
accurate
instruction
about
the
holocaust.
Northern
such
as
so.
It
would
seem
like
that
that
the
commission
that's
putting
forward
the
curriculum
or
whatever
could
look
at
some
of
those.
H
Leslie
cohen
assembly
district
29.,
certainly
I
mean
there
are
some
some
definitions
that
when
you
talk
about
genocide
that
that
we
do
have
that
that
the
com,
the
subcommittee,
would
need
to
be
careful
about.
Again,
though
I
I
don't
think
it's
about
excluding
the
history
that
we
need
to
learn
about
what
the
united
states
has
done,
it's
saying
and
and
our
specific
history.
I
think
it's
just
saying
that
that
we
should
also
be
learning
this,
but
certainly
those
are
things
that
do
need
to
be
addressed
and
our
students
should
be
learning.
A
Okay,
I'm
not
seeing
any!
Why
don't
we
have
those
that
are
wishing
to
give?
Let's
see,
let's
open
up
the
hearing
on
those
that
wish
to
give
the
public
or
to
your
testimony
in
support,
so
anyone
here
in
the
room
come
forward
first
and
then
we'll
go.
A
O
Thank
you,
chair
dennis,
and
members
of
the
committee
elliot
mallon
for
the
record
on
behalf
of
the
anti-defamation
league.
Before
I
get
started,
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
the
lieutenant
governor
had
to
sign
off,
and
she
has
given
me
a
short
statement
to
read
after
mine.
So
I
will.
I
will
cut
out
a
lot
of
mine
and
mine
is
already
on
nellis
for
you
to
pull
up
first,
I
want
to
thank
assembly
members
cohen
krasner,
for
sponsoring
this
important
legislation.
O
We've
been
working
on
this
bill
for
almost
two
years
now
and
we
appreciate
sending
women
cohen
from
krasner
for
agreeing
to
carry
it
as
well
as
all
the
stakeholders
that
have
been
part
of
the
conversations
on
the
bill.
I'm
lucky
to
be
here
today,
because
my
great-grandfather
escaped
from
the
shuttle
in
poland
and
made
it
to
the
united
states
in
less
than
legal
ways
and
successfully
hid
from
the
united
states
government,
which
was
sending
jews
back
to
europe
to
die.
O
Our
entire
family
that
had
remained
in
poland
was
murdered
in
auschwitz
and
for
the
record,
I
have
submitted
some
of
my
family's
records
from
yad
vashem
in
jerusalem
to
reflect
the
impact
that
jews
across
nevada
have
felt
from
this
and
how
close
to
home.
It
is
for
so
many
nevadans
in
college
living
in
the
jewish
fraternity
house
at
the
university
of
nevada
reno,
a
certain
organization
at
the
university
threw
golf
balls
with
swastikas
and
horrible
remarks
written
on
them
at
our
house.
O
O
O
Ab231
simply
creates
a
subcommittee
within
the
department
of
education
that
will
work
over
the
next
few
years
with
stakeholders,
the
department
of
education
and
school
districts
across
nevada
to
establish
crosswalks
and
work
towards
implementing
a
more
comprehensive
plan
for
holocaust
and
genocide,
education
statewide
further
the
bill
has,
within
it
vital
guard
rails
to
define
genocide
via
the
united
states,
holocaust
memorial
museum.
It
does
not
create
a
mandate
by
any
means
and
is
a
crucial
first
step.
O
We
have
a
well-known
term
for
people
that
do
good
deeds
and
that's
mensch.
Yet
that
does
not
go
far
enough
to
describe
the
work
of
the
assembly,
members,
cohen
and
krasner,
as
well
as
lieutenant
governor
on
this
bill.
Rather
they
are
heroes,
keeping
alive
the
memory
of
those
we
all
lost
the
ultimate
evil
and
ensuring
that
these
stories
live
on.
O
I'll
do
it
fast.
I
promise.
I
also
want
to
add
for
the
record
on
behalf
of
lieutenant
governor,
that
lieutenant
governor
kate
marshall
had
to
run
into
another
meeting
and
apologizes
for
not
being
able
to
call
in.
She
would
like
the
record
to
reflect
that.
She
is
in
support
of
ab231
as
the
only
way
to
prevent
future
atrocities
like
the
holocaust
or
armenian
genocide
from
occurring
again
by
teaching
our
students
of
the
real
damage
that
hate
and
prejudice
brings.
Thank
you.
O
F
I
won't
take
two
minutes:
maggie
o
flaherty
for
the
record
good
afternoon,
chair
dennis
members
of
the
senate
education
committee,
I'm
here
today
testifying
on
behalf
of
myself.
I
think
that
this
is
a
phenomenal
bill.
I
won't
take
too
long
because
I
think
that
assembly,
members,
krasner
and
cohen
stated
things
really
well
and
saying.
Education
is
the
key
to
combating
hate.
F
F
It
certainly
highlights
some
of
the
most
critical
points
in
our
history
and
allows
us
to
include
those
in
the
education
of
nevada's
next
generation
of
history
makers.
So
thank
you
to
assemblywoman,
krasner
and
assemblywoman
cohen,
and
everyone
who's
worked
on
this
bill.
It's
a
wonderful
bill.
Thank
you.
B
Afternoon,
alexander
marks
of
the
nevada
state
education
association
speaking
in
support
of
assembly
bill
231
today,
revising
provisions
governing
education
on
the
holocaust
and
other
genocides
nsca
has
a
standing
position
in
support
of
holocaust
education.
Since
1996
with
a
resolution
adopted
at
our
delegate
assembly,
this
position
was
reaffirmed
and
expanded
in
1998
and
2002..
B
We
also
have
a
standing
policy
on
genocide.
Education
also
adopted
in
1996
and
affirmed
and
updated
in
2002.
educators,
understand
intolerance
has
no
place
in
our
schools
instruction
on
the
holocaust
and
other
genocides
is
even
more
critical.
In
these
times
of
hate
and
increasing
anti-semitism
freestyling
a
little
bit
as
a
jewish
person,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
receive
holocaust
education
in
both
hebrew
school,
as
well
as
my
gait
class
at
elaine
wind
elementary
school.
B
B
This
was
a
man
who
was
just
full
of
so
so
much
life,
and
I
remember
he
didn't
really
speak
out
until
the
1960s
and
then
his
father
kind
of
inspired
him
because
he
said
that
these
are
stories
that
need
to
be
told
so
that
people
would
never
forget
the
the
hardships
and
horrible
things
that
he
went
through.
He
survived
four
concentration
camps.
B
He
was
a
musician,
he
could
play
the
piano
and
the
violin.
I
remember
him
telling
a
story
about
being
transported
to
a.
I
think,
his
second
or
third
concentration
camp
and
a
german
nazi
soldier
saw
him
holding
a
mandolin
and
instructed
him
to
play
la
paloma
right
there
and
thank
god
he
was
able
to
do
so
because
he
was
literally
playing
a
violin
for
his
life.
B
That
put
everybody
in
a
much
better
mood
that
evening
and
he
survived
so
that
day
he
was
able
to
do
so,
but
to
hear
somebody
tell
you
that
it
still
sends
chills
down
my
spine
this
day
and
if
it
doesn't
to
you,
then
I
don't
know
what's
wrong,
but
still
mind-blowing
and
had
he
not
played.
He
never
would
have
played
another
note,
but
he
would
always
tell
us
even
his
elementary
school
children
that
we
must
always
remember.
B
Never
let
this
happen
again,
so
I
think,
in
terms
of
age,
we
needed
to
hear
that,
because
to
this
day
I'm
standing
here
in
front
of
a
senate
committee
retelling
a
story
that
needs
to
be
told
just
it's
important
to
know
their
stories
retell
them
over
and
over
again.
That's
why
I'm
here
I'm
grateful
for
gate
teachers
like
I
had
miss
elizovich,
who
I
will
send
this
message
to
hopefully
she's
watching,
but
urge
you
to
support
assembly
bill
3231,
it's
a
great
bill.
We
need
to
hear
these
stories
over
and
over
again.
A
F
F
F
K
Thank
you,
chair
met
chairman
dennis,
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
jacob
coney
t-o-n-e-h
and
I'm
an
eighth
grade
student
at
the
adelson
educational
campus,
I'm
jewish
and
a
great
grandson
of
holocaust
survivors.
K
Today,
not
everyone,
especially
those
in
my
generation,
have
heard
of
the
holocaust
and,
as
time
passes,
we
get
further
and
further
from
that
period
and
lose
survivors.
We
see
signs
that
people
do
not
seem
to
grasp
the
meaning
and
the
absolute
horror
that
one
group
of
people
committed
against
another.
The
holocaust
was
the
systematic
bureaucratic,
state-sponsored
persecution,
murder
and
annihilation
of
approximately
6
million
jews
by
the
nazi
regime.
It
literally
translates
by
greek
origin
to
sacrifice
by
fire
the
nazis,
who
came
to
power
in
germany
in
january.
K
1933
believed
that
germans
were
radically
superior
and
that
the
jews,
specifically
because
of
their
religion
and
different
belief
system,
were
deemed
inferior
and
a
threat
to
the
german
racial
community.
It
took
the
germans
and
their
accomplices
four
and
a
half
years
to
intentionally
murder
six
million
people
just
like
me
only
because
of
their
religion.
They
never
showed
any
restraint
and
slowed
down
only
when
they
began
to
run
out
of
jews
to
kill
they
only
stopped
when
the
allies
finally
defeated
them.
There
was
no
escape.
The
murderers
were
not
content
with
destroying
the
communities.
K
They
also
tracked
down
each
hidden,
jew
and
hunted
down
each
person
that
ran
the
crime
of
being
a
jew.
A
person
like
me
was
so
great
that
every
single
one
had
to
be
put
to
death.
All
men,
women
and
children
were
all
meant
to
suffer
and
die
by
1945.
Most
of
the
jews
of
europe
were
dead
and
it
was
it
wasn't.
Only
jews
that
were
murdered.
Persons
of
color
disabilities
and
homosexuals
were
also
murdered.
All
of
these
people
were
killed
because
they
were
different.
K
Kids
of
all
ages
need
to
learn
about
this
period
so
that
this
period
is
never
denied
or
forgotten.
Future
generations
need
to
be
reminded
of
the
past
and
to
ensure
that
it
does
not
happen
again.
The
holocaust
is
a
warning
that
the
unthinkable
is
possible
even
now,
and
that
the
human
nature
makes
many
people
susceptible
to
the
abuse
of
power,
a
belief
in
the
inferior
inferiority
of
the
other
and
the
ability
to
justify
any
behavior,
including
ignoring
it,
and
doing
nothing
at
all.
Kids.
K
My
age
face
a
shocking
lack
of
knowledge
about
the
fact
and
history
of
the
holocaust.
My
older
sister
remy
realized
this
when
she
attended
bishop
gorman
in
high
school
following
years
at
adelson,
so
she
met
with
her
counselors
and
together
they
came
up
with
a
strategy
to
teach
students
about
the
holocaust.
For
the
first
time
in
gorman's
existence
of
over
80
years,
the
religion
and
history
teachers
invited
survivors
to
speak
about
their
experience.
K
After
hearing
from
actual
survivors
and
the
tragedy
and
the
triumph
they
endured,
there
was
no
denying
it
no
making
fun
of
it
and
no
forgetting
it.
The
hope
is
to
teach
students
early
and
often
there
is
no
room
for
intolerance
and
to
constantly
remind
them,
there
is
no
room
for
the
past
to
be
repeated,
especially
today
when
we
have
social
justice
movements
like
black
lives
matter,
constant
emails
about
swastikas
on
our
campuses
on
our
homes
or
threats
made
against
jewish
people
and
anti-semitism
is
the
fastest
growing
hate
crime
in
the
united
states
and
the
world.
K
These
are
our
realities
every
single
day,
remembering
that
the
holocaust
is
more
about
remembering
my
ancestors.
It
is
about
remembering
what
hate
and
bigotry
can
do
against
anyone,
be
it
anti-semitism,
islamophobia,
homophobia
and
all
forms
of
hatred.
Establishing
a
place
for
nevada
to
remember
and
teach
the
holocaust
is
an
important
step
in
remembering
what
hate
and
bigotry
can
do
right
now,
especially
after
the
pandemic,
where
we
lost
several
survivors,
there
are
fewer
and
fewer
holocaust
survivors
and
witnesses
alive
to
share
their
story.

H-O-V-A-N-E-S-S-I-A-N
I'd
like
to
thank
the
senate
education
committee
and
would
like
to
support
this
bill
on
behalf
of
the
armenian-american
community
of
nevada,
which
is
20
thousand
strong
and
also
as
the
co-chair
of
the
armenian
national
committee
here
in
nevada.
I
am
representing
a
vibrant
armenian
community
and
also
armenian
genocide.
N
Survivors
who
made
this
state
contributed
to
make
the
state
great,
like
kirker,
corian
and
jerry
tarkanian,
I'm
proud
to
say
that
they're
sons
of
genocide
survivors,
I
support
ab231,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
lieutenant
governor
for
her
tremendous
leadership
and
support
of
the
armenian
community
for
inclusion
of
the
armenian
genocide
in
ab231
as
the
first
genocide
of
the
20th
century
and
the
first
time
that
there
had
been
a
premeditated
state-sponsored
crime
of
this
colossal
scale
against
1.5
million
armenians.
And
so
I
thank
this
committee.
N
I
thank
the
lieutenant
governor
for
for
giving
dignity
to
the
souls
of
the
1.5
million.
You
know
martyrs
of
the
genocide,
I'm
a
granddaughter
of
for
genocide,
armenian
genocide,
survivors,
and
so
it
is
so
important
to
teach,
of
course,
all
the
horrors
of
genocide
and
as
the
first
genocide
it
is.
Quite
it
is
a
prototype
and
an
educational
model.
N
One
of
the
most
important
quotes
that
have
come
out
of
the
armenian
genocide
are
by
ambassador
morgenthau,
who
said
the
ottoman
turks
gave
a
death
warrant
to
an
entire
race,
and
this
was
before
the
word.
Genocide
had
ever
been
invented
and,
unfortunately,
was
invented
or
created
by
after
the
armenian
genocide.
N
Also,
hitler
said
before
he
invaded
his
death
march
into
poland.
He
said
who
today
remembers
the
annihilation
of
the
armenians,
and
so
perhaps
the
course
of
history
can
be
changed
when
there's
accountability
to
this
day.
Turkey
does
not
acknowledge
the
armed
and
genocide
occurred
and
denies
that
it
ever
happened,
and
so
it
is
a
very
open
and
wound
for
the
armenian
community,
but
through
educational
bills
such
as
this
and
president
biden's
official
affirmation
and
recognition
and
by
congress
and
now,
hopefully,
by
the
state
of
nevada.
N
Some
of
those
wounds
are
healed
of
our
ancestors
and
of
the
armenian
community,
so
we're
grateful.
I
also
would
like
to
thank
icann.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
anti-defamation
league,
jewish
nevada
and
the
governor's
holocaust
council
for
their
support
and
solidarity
for
our
inclusion,
and
we
look
forward
to
collaborating
on
such
an
important
bill
to
create
global
citizens
and
future
leaders
to
prevent
future
hate
crimes,
anti-armenian
hate
anti-semitism
from
occurring
ever
again
and
to
prevent
genocide.
F
F
M
M
M
We
must
teach
the
lessons
from
our
past
in
order
to
not
repeat,
as
we
shall
remember,
anti-semitism
and
pisemites
start
with
jews,
but
never
ends
with
them,
even
more
important
to
teach
the
origins
of
hatred
and
the
differences
of
labeling
and
stereotyping,
which
prevents
the
growth
of
the
seeding
hatred
from
within,
because
when
we
do
educate,
we
prevent
and
there's
no
better
time
than
now.
Our
and
your
future
depends
on
it.
Thank
you.
F

K
K
K
I've
been
talking
about
my
story
of
survival
to
schools
worldwide,
including
the
state
of
nevada
for
nearly
25
years
now
it
saddens
and
pains
me
that
many
under
the
age
of
30
today
don't
even
know
what
the
holocaust
means
or
have
no
idea
how
many
died
from
it.
But
I
know
that
teaching
the
holocaust
is
the
best
way
to
defeat
increasing
racism,
discrimination
and
bullying.
K

When
reading
the
quote
my
heart,
stunned
in
pain
for
my
armenian
family
and
my
jewish
friends,
if
genocides
are
not
taught
in
school,
no
one
is
going
to
speak
of
them.
The
armenian
genocide
occurred
about
a
century
ago
and
its
education
is
still
not
mandated
in
classrooms
across
the
nation.
The
rwandan
genocide
occurred
only
27
years
ago,
yet
many
americans
still
know
very
little
about
it.
It's
startling
to
think
that
an
event
so
horrific
could
have
occurred
in
such
recent
times
by
educating
the
public
on
genocides.
M
We
can
help
prevent
these
violations
of
human
rights
from
ever
happening
again.
History
forgotten
is
history
repeated
as
an
armenian-american,
nevadan
and
students.
I
asked
you
to
help
expand
genocide,
education
to
be
more
inclusive.
The
united
states
has
recently
taken
crucial
steps
for
genocide,
remembers
both
the
u.s
house
and
senate
in
2019,
passed
resolutions
on
armenian
genocide,
remembrance
and
president
biden
on
this
april.
24Th
formerly
recognized
the
armenian
genocide.
M
F
M
S-E-D-A-S-A-R-G-S-Y-A-N
and
I
am
an
armenian-american
student
attending
ccsd
and
I
am
testifying
in
support
of
ab231
throughout
my
ccsd
experience,
I
was
never
taught
about
the
armenian
genocide.
History
just
seemed
to
designate
the
murders
of
1.5
million
innocent
children,
parents
and
grandparents
as
insignificant
to
learning,
but
neglecting
to
include
all
genocides
does
more
harm
than
good
shielding
children
from
learning
the
truth
about
what
a
horrible
place
the
world
can
be
teaches
them
to
stand
by
instead
of
acting
when
they
see
something
that
is
unjust.
M
Many
people
are
unaware,
but
the
armenian
genocide
influenced
adolf
hitler's
ideology
and
plan
for
the
holocaust.
If
education
was
a
priority,
then
maybe
the
world
wouldn't
have
been
so
slow
to
react.
As
of
today,
many
states
have
already
implemented
genocide,
teaching
requirements
in
their
curriculums,
including
california,
colorado,
connecticut,
illinois,
kentucky
massachusetts,
michigan,
minnesota,
new
jersey,
new
york,
ohio,
rhode,
island,
texas
and
virginia.
M
These
states
are
taking
a
big
step
toward
educating
the
youth
about
the
world's
past
atrocities
with
education.
These
students
will
learn
about
how
the
world
has
failed
to
act
in
times
of
need
and
learn
to
recognize
injustice
to
prevent
the
next
genocide.
From
happening,
even
now,
more
genocides
are
being
enacted
by
perverse
governments
around
the
globe,
and
it
is
our
responsibility
to
raise
awareness
of
these
human
rights
violations
and
alert
our
government
to
act
instead
of
sit
idly
by
while
people
are
murdered
by
the
masses.
M
Recently,
even
at
risk
of
fraying
u.s
turkish
relations,
president
biden
recognized
the
armenian
genocide
as
a
genocide.
Signaling,
the
united
states
commitment
to
human
rights.
This
declaration
was
risky,
but
president
biden
spoke
up
because
he
recognized
injustice
and
took
his
stand
even
when
the
consequences
might
not
be
in
his
favor.
This
bill
has
the
potential
to
instill
a
need
to
act
in
tomorrow's
leaders
and
should
be
fully
considered
as
a
necessary
amendment
to
our
current
education
system.
We,
as
nevadas,
must
take
a
stand
and
agree
to
implement
genocide.
M
I
hope
you
take
this
into
consideration
and
push
for
the
implementation
of
a
teaching
curriculum
that
includes
the
holocaust,
armenian
genocide,
rwandan
genocide
and
so
many
more
genocides
that
are
not
taught
about
nearly
enough
in
our
education
system.
Thank
you.
So
much
chair
dennis
and
members
of
the
committee,
and
I
respectfully
ask
for
your
gay
vote.

N-I-C-O-L-E-D-A-T-A-S-T-A-N-Y-A-N
I'm
an
armenian-american
student
attending
ccsd
and
I'm
testifying
and
support
for
assembly
bill
231.
I
strongly
encourage
the
support
bill
of
assembly
bills
231,
which
adds
holocaust
and
genocide
teaching
into
the
nevada
curriculum.
The
bill
will
shed
light
on
events
that
have
gone
far
too
long
unnoticed
in
nevada
schools.
In
my
12
years
in
the
clark
county
school
district,
I
have
never
had
a
teacher
touch
on
the
1915
genocide
of
the
armenian
people
committed
by
the
ottoman
empire.
M
As
a
matter
of
fact,
my
own
teachers
who
have
been
teaching
history
for
years
were
unaware
of
the
events
and
were
surprised
to
hear
about
them.
Only
35
percent
of
the
american
public
surveyed
was
aware
of
the
armenian
genocide,
which
is
far
too
little.
Knowledge
and
54
percent
do
not
know
the
holocaust
against
the
jewish
people
as
an
armenian-american.
I
strongly
support
the
education
of
both
genocide
and
holocaust
teaching
in
nevada
schools,
so
that
future
students
are
able
to
acknowledge
the
crimes
of
the
past
and
ensure
that
they
will
never
occur
again.

I'm
the

as
the
original
originators
of
this
bill
that
brought
it
to
assemblywoman,
cohen
and
assemblywoman
krasner.
We
thank
them
for
their
support
in
moving
this
forward.
M
Adl
is
the
leading
anti-hate
organization
founded
in
1913
in
response
to
the
escalating
climate
of
anti-semitism

bigotry,
and
our
mission
to
protect
the
jewish
people
and
secure
justice
and
fair
treatment
for
all
is
what
drives
us
each
day.
Adl
has
worked
diligently
on
this
issue
here
in
nevada
and
around
the
country.
The
need
for
enhanced
holocaust
and
education
in
k
through
12
schools
could
not
be
more
urgent.
They
also
come
at
a
time
when
holocaust
and
genocide
awareness,
particularly
among
young
people,
is
fading
fast
from
memory.
M
These
statistics
are
not
coincidence
when
our
students
do
not
understand
the
history
of
genocide
or
the
elements
leading
to
it.
They
cannot
fully
grasp
the
significance
of
their
actions
or
the
tremendous
harm
that
they
cause
to
an
entire
community
because
of
the
polarizing
and
intimidating
impact
of
anti-semitism
and
other
forms
of
hate.
M
This
bill
will
send
a
strong
message
to
educators,
students
and
families
that
nevada
recognizes
the
importance
of
holocaust
and
genocide
education
and
that
this
legislation,
this
legislation
is
committed.
This
legislator
is
committed
to
doing
everything
possible
to
prevent
the
rise
and
escalation
of
bias
motivated
incidents
in
schools.
For
these
reasons,
we
strongly
urge
the
committee
to
support
this
critical
and
timely
legislation.
Thank
you.

M
My
name
is
edingle
eden
gal,
a
12th
grade
israeli
american
student
attending
ccsb,
and
I
am
testifying
in
support
of
bill
231
to
revise
provisions
governing
education
on
the
holocaust
and
other
genocides.
As
a
student
in
clark
county
school
district,
I
have
yet
to
learn
about
the
holocaust
inside
my
classroom.
Instead,
I
often
find
myself
informing
my
peers
about
the
holocaust,
because
school
curriculum
does
not
suffice
their
urine
for
knowledge
in
regards
to
this
atrocity.
M
43
percent
of
millennials
and
gen
z,
nevadas
cannot
name
a
single
concentration
camp
or
ghetto
over
half
of
nevada's
millennial
and
gen
z
population
is
unaware
that
six
million
jews
are
massacred
in
the
holocaust.
In
high
school.
I
learned
about
the
armenian
genocide
solely
for
my
armenian
peers,
not
school
curriculum.
Only
35
percent
of
armenia
of
americans
are
familiar
with
the
armenian
genocide.
These
studies
proving
nevadan
students
alarming
and
inadequate
knowledge
about
genocides
exemplify
what
the
passage
of
this
bill
is
absolutely
fundamental.
M
Furthermore,
as
an
israeli
american,
I
feel
it
is
vital
that
our
youth
learns
and
understands
the
horrors
our
world
has
faced
as
a
result
of
discrimination
to
ensure
that
history
does
not
repeat
itself.
The
dangerous
surge
of
anti-semitism
and
holocaust
denial
across
the
united
states
proves
how
necessary
genocide.
Education
is
to
combat
future
hate
genocide.
Education
will
build
a
more
kind
and
prejudiced
and
inclusive
future
in
the
state
of
nevada.
I
am
asking
for
your
support
for
bill
231.
B
F
K
K
While
the
holocaust
was
a
systematic
and
orchestrated
genocide.
Please.
I
am
asking
that
one
of
the
genocides,
one
of
the
main
genocides,
one
of
the
ultimate
genocides
here
on
u.s
soil,
to
be
taught
in
the
school
to
be
included
as
an
other
genocide,
be
the
genocide
and
all
the
creations
and
ingredients
that
went
into
u.s,
chattel
slavery,.
K
Hitler
took
his
cues
from
the
u.s
and
the
racist
practices
against
my
people
here.
So
I'm
asking
on
behalf
of
the
descendants
myself
included,
who
are
still
suffering
from
the
accrued
disadvantages
of
jim
crow
reconstruction
redlining
and
the
like.
I
am
asking
that
this
bill
not
passed
unless
and
until
it
is
specifically
including
u.s,
chattel
slavery
and
the
atrocities
that
ensue.
Thank
you.

Okay
assemblywoman:
do
you
want
to
give
any
closing.
H
Comments,
thank
you,
chair,
leslie,
cohen
assembly,
district
29..
Thank
you
committee
for
your
engagement
with
this
bill
and
I
I'm
very
honored
that
ben
lesser
called
in
support.
He
has
taught
children
throughout
the
state
and
I
think
throughout
the
world,
actually
about
the
holocaust.
H
One
other
point
I
did
want
to
make
is,
I
think,
when
we
teach
about
the
holocaust,
we're
also
teaching
about
the
united
states,
anthony
acevedo,
an
american
soldier
who
was
interred
in
a
in
a
in
a
concentration
camp,
because
he
was
a
hispanic
american
and
the
nazis
didn't
know
what
to
do
with
him.
Jehovah's
witnesses,
members
of
the
lds
church
in
germany,
germans,
who
were
of
african
descent.
H
All
of
these
different
groups
were
victims
during
the
holocaust,
and
I
think
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
that
our
students
understand.
I
again
I
do
think
it's
very
important
that
we
teach
about
slavery
in
the
united
states.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
teach
about
slavery
all
the
way
through
jim
crow
and
to
today.
H
A
So
I
will
open
up
public
time
for
public
comment.
Anybody
here
in
the
room.
F
F
A
Thank
you
very
much,
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment.
We
have
no
further
items
come
before
us.
We
will
meet
on
friday,
as
you
can
tell
this
time
of
session.
Things
change
all
the
time,
but
right
now
currently
we're
scheduled

one
o'clock
