Newsom Bans Schools From Telling Parents if Child Identifies as Transgender, Uses Different Pronouns
Elon Musk is pulling SpaceX out of California.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 1955, which bans school districts from telling parents their child is transgender or using different pronouns.
The state wants your children (emphasis mine):
This bill would prohibit school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and the state special schools, and a member of the governing board or body of those educational entities, from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule, or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent unless otherwise required by law, as provided. The bill would prohibit employees or contractors of those educational entities from being required to make such a disclosure unless otherwise required by law, as provided. The bill would prohibit employees or contractors of school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, or the state special schools, or members of the governing boards or bodies of those educational entities, from retaliating or taking adverse action against an employee on the basis that the employee supported a pupil in the exercise of specified rights, work activities, or providing certain instruction, as provided.
So, the school cannot give my child a Tylenol…but the school can tell me if my child identifies as transgender and uses different pronouns.
The school better tell me everything my child does and says at school.
AB 1955 is the first law of its kind in the country.
Assembly member Chris Ward introduced the legislation earlier this year.
He said, without any self-awareness: “While some school districts have adopted policies to forcibly out students, the SAFETY Act ensures that discussions about gender identity remain a private matter within the family.”
Dude. Your legislation literally takes it out of the family…unless you’re admitting that state employees are the child’s family.
Hhhmmm….
Elon Musk is taking SpaceX out of California.
I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children

until patriots say no
Ward and his partner Thom are homeowners in University Heights, where they live with their two children.[17]
so the sponsor of the bill says:
Assemblymember Chris Ward, a Democrat from San Diego, authored the bill and told the L.A. Times that teachers shouldn’t be the “gender police.”
OH but its ok for the government to be the
gender nazis and withhold information from parents!!!!
Anyone with common sense should leave California
lefty has once again destroyed another place

Legal depts of all big tech in Wa state wrote “friends of the court” letters in Wa against gender specific bathrooms back in 2017. Their assertion was that unless we let super disgusting boys like Lia Thomas undress, pee, poop with girls- Washington state would have a hard time recruiting and retaining tech talent. THIS WAS THEIR EXACT ARGUMENT.

Could a decent lawyer make a case that this suppresses freedom of speech?
No. On the contrary, it preserves government employees’ freedom of speech, by barring their supervisors from requiring them to say things they don’t want to say.
But even if it had actually banned those employees from saying things they did want to say, that would not infringe their freedom of speech, since they’re acting for their employer, the government, so the employer can dictate what they may say on its behalf.
Not a chance in the world Gov. Newsom signs this if he’s still being considered to replace the President on the fall ballot.
Already did… with current Dem party probably increase his chances
He was never being seriously considered to run for President. I mean all you have to do for campaign ads is point out the poo piles in his state.
It cannot be legal for the state to deny parents such personal information about their own children.
Further, the state and those carrying out these policies are all criminals of the worst sort – sex offenders and child abusers.
It is legal. The information belongs to the child, not the parents.
Tell me, suppose a child of Moslem parents is reading the Bible and exploring Christianity at school, would you say the school had a duty to inform the parents?!
In any case, this law doesn’t forbid school employees from telling the parents anything, it merely forbids the school district from requiring them to do so. It remains up to the employee whether to respect the child’s privacy or tell the parents.
Newsom better hurry and get that exit tax passed!
I guess Gov. Hair Gel has decided that he needs another embarrassing lawsuit(s) to show that he is an OG Nutter.
Elon Musk announces X, SpaceX HQs will move from California to Texas after new gender identity law.
We will have less Global Warming if we fix the kids so they can’t reproduce
I can’t believe this statute is constitutional, given how it substantially impairs parental rights.
Could this be the nudge necessary to revive judicial interest in the long-dormant 9th and 10th amendments to the U.S. constitution?
I don’t see how. Those are the two that enable states and people against the federal government. This is an out-of-control state.
Why would it not be constitutional? Since when do parents have the right to be informed of everything their children are doing?
In any case it doesn’t prevent teachers from informing parents if they think it appropriate to do so; it prevents school districts from requiring them to inform parents even when they think it’s a very bad idea.
I do hope Musk will still be launching out of Vandenburg, though, given that it is federal. His launches are so pretty!
