California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill banning school districts from notifying parents if their child uses different pronouns or identifies as a gender different from school records without the child's permission. Supporters of the bill say it protects LGBTQ youth from being outed to families that may not be supportive. Opponents argue that the bill violates parents' rights and ability to guide their children. The bill also requires resources for families of LGBTQ students to have private conversations on their own terms. It prevents retaliation against teachers and staff who support LGBTQ students.
