Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 1955, prohibiting schools from outing LGBTQ+ students without permission, with resources for private gender conversations.
California banned forced outing in response to conservative districts' policies, protecting transgender students from harm, in contrast to other states encouraging or mandating it.
Assemblymember Chris Ward highlighted that teachers should not act as the 'gender police,' respecting parent-child relationships, amidst rising attacks on LGBTQ+ youth rights nationwide.
