California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law barring schools from informing parents of students' gender identity changes and preventing staff from disclosing without consent.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law prohibiting school districts from mandating schools to inform parents when their child requests a change in their gender identification. The law also prevents school staff from disclosing a student's gender identity or sexual orientation without the child's permission. Supporters argue that this will protect LGBTQ+ students living in unwelcoming households, while opponents claim it hampers transparency between schools and parents.
