California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Monday signed a bill (AB 1955) to keep parents in the dark when their children change their sexual orientation or gender identity at school. The bill responds directly to seven California school districts where parents successfully ran for school board and instituted parental notification policies. California Family Council President Jonathan Keller called the bill “a direct assault on the safety of children and the rights of their parents. … Moms and dads have both a constitutional and divine mandate to guide and protect their kids, and AB 1955 egregiously violates this sacred trust.”
