A California mother stripped at a school board meeting to protest transgender students' locker room access, sparking debate over rights and protest limits.

On September 18, Beth Bourne, a California mother and Moms for Liberty leader, stripped to a bikini during a Davis Joint Unified School District board meeting to protest policies allowing transgender students access to girls’ locker rooms. She cited concerns over privacy and safety, arguing that shared spaces should not require students to undress in front of others. The board interrupted her, called recesses, and later said her conduct was inappropriate, with police called during the session. Though she claimed her actions were protected under the First Amendment, officials stated they would review the incident. The event intensified national debates over transgender rights, school safety, and protest boundaries, with no immediate disciplinary actions or policy changes reported.
