DELAWARE: PROPOSED GOVERNOR’S REGULATION 225 ALLOWS CHILDREN TO SELF-IDENTIFY GENDER & RACE WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

 A series of sweeping regulations being considered by Delaware’s 
Department of Education would allow students to “self-identify” not only
 their gender but also their race, and it empowers schools not to seek 
parental consent if the child feels his or her parents might not be 
“supportive” enough. The law would apply to students of all ages in all 
public schools in the state.

“All students enrolled in a Delaware public school may self-identify
gender or race,” reads section 7.4 of Regulation 225. While the proposed
regulation states that administrators “may seek parental consent,” it
instructs them only to do so if the children feel that their parents are
“supportive” enough.
Here’s the full text of the regulation (note: the term “Protected
Characteristic” is defined by the regulation as the “race, ethnicity,
color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation,
genetic information, marital status, disability, age, gender identity or
expression or other characteristic protected by state or federal law”):

7.4 All students enrolled in a Delaware public school may self-identify gender or race which is maintained in eSchoolPLUS.
7.4.1
A school may request permission from the parent or legal guardian of a
minor student before a selfidentified gender or race is accepted;
provided, however, that prior to requesting the permission from a parent
or legal guardian, the school should consult and work closely with the
student to assess the degree to which, if any, the parent or legal
guardian is aware of the Protected Characteristic and is supportive of
the student, and the school shall take into consideration the safety,
health and well-being of the student in deciding whether to request
permission from the parent or legal guardian.

The
state-wide regulation also allows students who identify as the opposite
gender of their biological sex to participate in all extracurricular and
educational programs offered for that gender, including gender-specific
classes on sexuality and all sports.

Below is an excerpt from the section on human sexuality courses:

3.4
Nothing in this regulation shall be construed to prevent School
Districts and Charter Schools from providing separately to each gender
those segments of a program of instruction dealing exclusively with
human sexuality. A student shall have the opportunity to participate in
the program of instruction dealing exclusively with human sexuality that
is consistent with the student’s gender identity regardless of the
student’s assigned sex at birth.

Below is the section on extracurricular activities:

6.2
No student shall be denied the opportunity in any implied or explicit
manner to participate in an Extra-Curricular Activity because of the
student’s Protected Characteristic(s) except as provided in subsection
6.4. Participation in Extra-Curricular Activities shall be encouraged by
each Charter School and School District for all students regardless of
their Protected Characteristic(s).

The non-profit Delaware Family Policy Council
is trying to raise awareness about the massive governmental overreach
and the serious social and political implications of the proposed
regulation. Along with starting a petition
against the regulation, the organization’s president, Nicole Theis, is
publicly, as she puts it, sounding the “5-alarm alert for parents.”

“Regulation 225 violates the right of parents to care for
their children without government intrusion. If a student wants to
change his/her gender or race, and the school perceives that the
student’s parents may not be supportive, the school may bypass the
parents (see section 7.3.1 of Regulation 225),” writes Theis.
“Regulation 225 fails to protect the privacy and safety of all students.
Students may claim or ‘self-identify’ as the opposite gender at any
time and have access to the locker rooms, showers, restrooms, overnight
accommodations, and any school activity (sports team) that is gender
specific. (5.2-6.4)”

authority regulation.

White boys could soon self-identify as black girls in Delaware.

The state Department of Education is considering sweeping
regulations regarding discrimination that would allow children to
determine their gender and their race.

The proposed “Regulation 225 Prohibition of Discrimination” could
set the stage for a gender-bending, cultural appropriation free-for-all
in the nation’s first state.

“All students enrolled in a Delaware public school may self-identify gender or race,” the proposed regulation states.

The state educators use a term called “Protected Characteristics”
to describe race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender
identity and other characteristics protected by state or federal law.

And the proposed regulation should scare the living daylights out
of every mom and dad in the state. It clearly states school leaders
would not necessarily be required to notify parents if Billy suddenly
decides to identify as Sally.

“Prior to requesting permission from a parent or legal guardian,
the school should consult and work closely with the student to assess
the degree to which, if any, the parent or legal guardian is aware of
the Protected Characteristic and is supportive of the student, and the
school shall take into consideration the safety, health and well-being
of the student in deciding whether to request permission from the parent
or legal guardian,” section 7.4.1 reads.

The Delaware Department of Education believes it is best equipped
to handle your child’s gender or pigmentation change. In other words,
government knows best.

“I’m outraged,” Delaware Family Policy Council President Nicole Theis told me. “Every parent should be outraged by this.”

The Delaware Family Policy Council is leading the charge to fight
the proposed regulation – urging moms and dads across the state to rise
up and fight the Department of Education.

“Literally, if a parent affirms their child’s biological sex, and
now race, they are positioned as discriminatory through policies like
Regulation 225,” Theis told me. “These policies are setting parents up
as a ‘non-ally’ and unsupportive, even abusive, if they affirm their
child’s biological realities and work through confusion versus embracing
it.”

But this is what happens when the government assumes they can do a better job than you when it comes to parenting your child.

“This is a 5-alarm alert for parents,” Theis told me. “The effects
of the deliberate conditioning of children as early as pre-school into
believing they can deny biological facts and realities and identify as
whatever gender or race they feel, and to what end?”

The Delaware Family Policy Council also has grave concerns over safety and privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms.

“No student should ever be pressured to undress, shower, or share
overnight accommodations with individuals of the opposite sex – yet
these are exactly the kind of situations Regulation 225 promotes,” she
said.

The Delaware Dept. of Education’s decision to ignore the biological
realities of our God-given plumbing and reproductive parts has opened
up a gender-bending Pandora’s Box.

Would a white child who identifies as black be eligible for
Affirmative Action scholarships Would a black child who identifies as
Hispanic be permitted to wear a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo? Would a
Hispanic child who identifies as Polynesian be permitted to wear a Moana
costume on Halloween?

I reached out to the Delaware Dept. of Education seeking answers – but so far, they have not returned my messages.

That being said, I’d like to know how they’re going to handle the
gender-fluid, Asian-American football player who suddenly decides during
halftime that he’s a Caucasian female?
