"For third grade students the framework states, 'When providing instruction on sexual and reproductive organs, teachers can introduce the concept that gender does not always match the sexual and reproductive organs described,' Jones wrote to Newsom in a letter dated September 26. 'Teaching controversial gender theories to students as young as eight or nine years old is not a practice that most Californians support, nor want to see happening in our schools.'"
""deeply unfair""
Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed Assembly Bill 86, which would have required K-8 health education materials to align with the state's 2019 framework that includes inclusive gender concepts. Republican leaders urged the veto, with Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones claiming the framework permits teaching that gender may not match sexual and reproductive organs and calling such ideas controversial for young students. Newsom's veto message cited the need to await a state study of health curricula. Newsom has faced criticism for saying it is "deeply unfair" for trans women and girls to compete in sports alongside cis females, even while California has sued the federal government over trans-inclusive sports policies.
