Their mission? To condemn the introduction of so-called gender-affirming bills and \u2064advocate for parental notification regarding student gender \u200cpolicies.<\/p>\n<p>Local\u200d media outlets reported that the group \u200dof parents gathered on the Capitol lawn to voice their strong opposition against several\u2063 new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-parents-protest-radical-gender-theory-related-bills-as-state-lawmakers-return-from-summer-recess\/\" title=\"California parents protest gender theory bills as lawmakers return from recess.\">radical gender theory-related laws expected<\/a> to \u200dgain momentum in the coming weeks. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/momentum-from-dobbs-led-legislatures-all-around-the-country-to-pass-popular-pro-life-laws\/\" title=\"Dobbs' momentum led to pro-life laws passing in legislatures nationwide.\">laws include measures<\/a> \u200dthat undermine parental authority, \u2064require state-controlled curriculum, and target local\u200b school boards.<\/p>\n<p>The rally was headlined by Sonja Shaw,\u200b the president \u2064of the parents-rights activist group. In an interview with Fox News, Shaw expressed their determination to \u200cfight against these &#8220;bad bills&#8221; and emphasized their unwavering commitment to the cause. &#8220;We have no \u2064desire to stop.\u2062 We&#8217;re linking arms. This\u200b has always \u2063been us,&#8221;\u2062 she declared.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cSacramento Bee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/politics-government\/capitol-alert\/article278248118.html?utm_campaign=trueanthem&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_source=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the group specifically spoke out against laws like AB 1078, which grants state authorities more\u200c control over school boards that ban certain books, and AB 5, which mandates the distribution of revised educational\u2064 materials that are inclusive of culturally and \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/justice-thomas-takes-aim-at-affirmative-action\/\" title=\"Justice Thomas Takes Aim at Affirmative Action\">racially diverse groups<\/a>, including LGBTQ+ communities.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Shaw on stage was Republican Assembly-member\u200c Bill\u200b Essayli, a keynote speaker at the rally. \u2064Essayli has been a\u2062 staunch\u200d advocate for\u2062 AB 1314, a legislation that would require schools to notify parents if their child uses\u2062 different pronouns or undergoes\u2062 a change in identity.\u200b Although the bill did not pass, \u2064Essayli remains determined to achieve their legislative priorities. &#8220;We will\u2064 accomplish our\u200c goals either through \u200chere or through the \u2063people directly,&#8221; he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Essayli drew inspiration for the bill \u2062from the Chino Valley\u2064 Unified School District, which\u2062 implemented \u2064a policy mandating schools to inform parents about any changes in their child&#8217;s gender identity. This policy has\u2064 since \u2063influenced\u200d another California school district to \u2063adopt\u200c a similar approach, leading to a\u2064 civil \u2064rights\u2062 investigation by California Attorney General Rob Bonta over potential legal violations.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing his concern for the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ students, Bonta stated, &#8220;Students should never \u2064fear going to school for simply being who they are.&#8221; However, Shaw, who \u2062has become a \u2062local advocate for parental \u2062rights, criticized Bonta&#8217;s assumption that parents are dangerous. She believes\u2062 that pushing parents out of the equation is a dangerous direction for the state to take.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom attended \u2064an education event at an Elk Grove school, approximately 20 miles south of the Capitol. When asked about the state investigation\u200c into the \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/five-cities-where-teachers-unions-are-keeping-schools-shutdown\/\" title=\"Five Cities Where Teachers Unions Are Keeping Schools Shutdown\">local school district<\/a>,\u2062 Newsom declined to state his position but expressed his support for the LGBTQ+ community. He mentioned that the LGBTQ caucus is working on language related to the policies, emphasizing that they are a &#8220;work in progress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Newsom also reportedly held a meeting with lawmakers on Monday night to discuss developing a response to school board districts that\u200b have implemented policies requiring transparency between parents and teachers regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/female-military-recruit-forced-to-shower-with-two-trans-identifying-men-considered-resigning-senator-says\/\" title=\"Female recruit considered resigning after being made to shower with two transgender men, says senator.\">gender-related ideology<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A parents-rights group protested at the California Capitol, opposing gender-affirming bills and advocating for parental notification in student gender policies.
