California 1st State To Ban School Requirement Regarding Gender Identity

The legislation comes amid a nationwide debate over local school districts and the rights of parents and LGBTQ+ students.

California has become the first state to ban a certain school district rule.

The law dismisses school rules that require teachers and other staff to notify parents or guardians if their child requests to change their gender identification.

Proponents of legislation say the ban will help protect LGBTQ+ students who live in households that do not accept their identities.

However, opponents of the ban say it will hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with guardians.

The legislation comes amid a nationwide debate over local school districts and the rights of parents and LGBTQ+ students.
