California lawmakers are introducing a new bill that would ban school districts from notifying parents if their child identifies as LGBTQ.
The new bill will be added to Assembly Bill 1955 — introduced by Assemblymember Chris Ward, D-San Diego, earlier this year — through a process called "gut-and-amend."
Under the amended bill, called the "Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth," or SAFETY ACT, school districts would be banned from, what Ward described as, "forced outing policies."
In other words, educators could not notify parents about their students’ gender identity or sexual orientation if that were to come up at school.
