 Amid a nationwide debate over schools and the rights of LGBTQ plus students, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law. It bans school districts from passing policies that require parents to be notified if their child asks to change their pronouns or their gender identity. The law also bans rules that require staff to disclose a student's sexual orientation to any other person without the child's permission. There was stiff debate in Sacramento before the bill was passed.
