Evidence (2024-09-05): On July 15, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed Assembly Bill 1955 (AB 1955) into law, which will become effective January 1, 2025. AB 1955 prohibits school districts and charter schools from adopting or enforcing any policy requiring an employee to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation or gender identity. This includes parental notification policies requiring school staff and administrators to notify parents if their children request to be referred to by a different name or by different pronouns. [...] Other school districts with policies or pending policies conflicting with AB 1955 include: [...] - In response to AB 1955, Trustee Seth Stemen of the Marysville Joint Unified School District made a speech opposing the new law and announced his intent to create and implement a parental notification policy that conflicts with the bill.

Evidence (2024-07-17): Introduced by Assemblymember Christopher M. Ward and co-authored by state Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman, among others, Assembly Bill 1955, or AB 1955: Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth Act, or the SAFETY Act,was signed nearly a year after State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond was forcibly removed from a Chino Valley Unified School District board meeting for opposing a proposed district policy that would require schools to inform parents if their child identifies as transgender. [...] While existing legislation mandates the state Department of Education to ensure updates are made on training resources to support LGBTQ+ students, AB 1955 will expand the requirement to include resources for the families of these students, including parents or guardians. Existing legislation also prohibits discrimination based on gender, gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation in state-funded educational institutions. AB 1955 extends the protections to prohibit educational entities from enforcing any policy that may require teachers and other employees to disclose a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression without the student’s consent. It also protects employees and contractors from retaliation for supporting students.

Evidence (2024-07-15): The new law shields teachers from retaliation for supporting transgender student rights and prohibits K-12 "forced disclosure" rules. It comes in response to school board decisions in some red pockets of California to notify parents if their child changes their name or pronouns, or if students request to use facilities or participate in programs that don’t match their gender on official records. [...] The Democratic-controlled state Legislature passed AB 1955 last month after a fiery debate LGBTQ+ Democrats had with Republicans who alleged the policy aimed to drive a wedge between parents and their children and was a governmental overstep. [...] "AB 1955 is an outrageous attempt to keep parents in the dark while schools indoctrinate kids with radical gender ideology," said Harmeet Dhillon, chief executive and founder of the Center for American Liberty.

Evidence (2024-06-27): After a chaotic debate on the Assembly floor filled with shouting and tears, California lawmakers on Thursday sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a bill that would ban schools from requiring teachers to notify parents about changes to a student’s gender identity. [...] Assembly Bill 1955 by Christopher M. Ward (D-San Diego) would shield teachers from retaliation for supporting transgender student rights and prohibit school policies that require "forced disclosure" of youth gender decisions to their families. The legislation is in response to a wave of conservative-backed school board policies that have sought to notify parents if their child changes their name or pronouns, or if students request to use facilities or participate in programs that don’t match their gender on official records.

Evidence (2024-09-30): California State PTA supported Assembly Bill 1955 (Ward), which Governor Newsom signed into law on July 15, 2024. This bill prohibits schools from disclosing a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity while safeguarding educators from retaliation for supporting LGBTQ+ students or following curriculum standards. PTA firmly believes that all students—including LGBTQIA+ students —have the right to a high-quality, equitable education in a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive school. Every student can reach their full potential when the school environment is one in which they are accepted, are truly valued, and can authentically be themselves. The passage of AB 1955 (Ward) will contribute to creating a safer learning environment for LGBTQ+ students. [...] Here are a few of the PTA authorities used in establishing PTA’s position on AB 1955:

Evidence (2024-06-16): One social media user said in a June 16 Instagram video the bill "would allow schools to secretly, socially and perhaps medically transition your child without your knowledge and consent." [...] An Instagram video says a proposed California law would let schools "secretly, socially and perhaps medically transition your child without your knowledge and consent." The claim misstates what Assembly Bill 1955 would do. The law would ban any school district or governing body from enacting or enforcing policies that would require teachers and other school staff to share information about students’ sexual orientation or gender identity with others, including parents, without students’ consent.

Evidence (2024-07-19): 1. Understand the Core Provisions of AB 1955 - - Prohibits Parental Notification Policies: Bans school districts from adopting rules that would require informing parents of their child’s gender identity/expression without the child’s consent. [...] - What type of gender transition does AB 1955 cover? The bill focuses on "social transition" like name/pronoun changes, not medical procedures such as hormone therapy or gender reassignment surgery. [...] - Does AB 1955 require active parental consent for social transition? No, just that schools can’t adopt policies that proactively inform parents without the student’s permission.

Evidence (2010-01-01): In Assembly Bill 3659, the California legislature called public attention to the problems of chronic welfare dependency, crime and violence, alcoholism and drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, child abuse, and academic failure. Although we have some idea of the number of people involved in each problem area, we have little knowledge about whether these are discrete or overlapping populations. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the possible existence of an "underclass" in American life—a class of people who are outside the nation's economic and social mainstream. There is no rigorous or accepted definition of the term underclass, but Reischauer (1987) has summarized the most widely agreed-upon characteristics of the group as (1) persistently low income; (2) a weak attachment to the labor force; (3) a lack of education and skills exemplified by functional illiteracy and dropping out of school; (4) a sense of alienation from mainstream society, possibly accompanied by substance abuse, criminal activity, participation in the underground economy, fathering or bearing a child out of wedlock, or long-term welfare dependency; (5) membership in a minority group that is discriminated against; and (6) residence in a neighborhood with a high concentration of disadvantaged or dysfunctional behavior.

Evidence (2016-01-01): It’s like my life had been a scattered puzzle and suddenly the frame was there and everything fit and I understood the picture. I thought at that time that it was too late, as far as doing anything with my life. I have a bad heart valve and I was 350 pounds and my heart was failing. I’ve never heard of anyone my age losing one hundred pounds, much less two hundred. I had never heard of anybody my age transitioning. I couldn’t find anybody online. You know, I found people in their forties transitioning, but to transition at sixty-three! [...] This progress is amazing, but even though we have more visibility and awareness, education, and resources now, there are so many young trans people who still don’t feel good about themselves. I hope that trans people, especially young trans people, coming up in the world can see that they’re beautiful and they’re brilliant and they’re amazing and unique in a special way, and that’s a good thing! It saddens me that trans youth are still struggling, that people are still ending their lives. We have so much more work to do, but we’re going to get there. I’m an optimist. And I’m an old-ass motherfucker, too, so I'm like, "Hey! Look how far we’ve come!"

Evidence (2024-06-20): Caitlin Clark's omission from the 2024 U.S. women's basketball Olympic roster garnered endless discourse among keyboard warriors and media pencil-pushers alike. Some labeled it a travesty that a rookie still getting adjusted to WNBA life could be left off the Olympic roster. Others were more pragmatic, believing that Clark's absence could serve her well — after all, she's been playing non-stop basketball since last fall.

Evidence (2024-07-12): Caitlin Clark's Olympics snub took a major turn, and there is evidence she could join the team after all. Originally, there was a cavalcade of backlash when it was announced Clark would not be going to the Olympics to play for Team USA women's basketball. "Leaving Caitlin Clark off the women's Olympic team is the dumbest s*** I've ever heard," Dave Portnoy wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on June 8 alongside a fiery video message. All that blustering outrage could prove to be for naught, as a key member of the Olympic team could be stepping aside to make way for Clark. [...] One reason that Caitlin Clark was an appealing alternate for the women's basketball team at the Olympics was how she handled being excluded from the roster. People wondered how Clark would react after being left off, but the highly-touted rookie took the news in stride. "I know it's the most competitive team in the world and I know it could've gone either way of me being on the team," she told reporters on June 9, per NBC News. In fact, Clark was not shocked to not make the team. "Honestly, no disappointment," she told the press about not being named an Olympian. The Indiana Fever star was not only fine with not making Team USA, but showed support for the women who were going to the Olympics. "I'm gonna be rooting them on to win gold," Clark added.

Evidence (2024-06-14): As expected, Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark did not make the 12-player squad.

Evidence (2024-07-25): Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark has broken WNBA records and positioned herself as one of the league’s defining figures, but she was not chosen for Team USA this year for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The reasoning is far less to do with Clark’s individual skillsets than the general roster construction with experienced players who have competed together in the years leading up to this Olympics. [...] It’s probably not a matter of if for when fans will get to see Clark play in the Olympic Games; it’s most likely a matter of when.

Evidence (2024-07-29): However, if the Americans continue their reign over the international basketball scene, it won't be due to Caitlin Clark. The Fever rookie was not among those that were picked to play for Team USA on the biggest sporting stage, leaving the 22-year-old to watch from home like the rest of the country. [...] Is Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team? [...] When Team USA announced its roster a month ago, Clark was viewed as a strong candidate to make the team, but it wasn't a guarantee. She was struggling with shooting efficiency and turnovers to start her WNBA career, so it a bit understandable why she was left off the roster.

Evidence (2024-06-10): Caitlin Clark’s arrival in the WNBA has set off a firestorm of chatter, discourse, and debate the likes of which we’ve never really seen in sports. The only 21st century precedent I can think of is Tebowmania, about a dozen years ago, when former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow enjoyed some success in the NFL, with the Denver Broncos. Tebow’s open embrace of his Christian faith sparked a conversation about the appropriateness of religious zeal in the public square, in this case the football field. The media covered Tebow 24-7. But then he went away, his throwing motion never quite pro-ready. [...] All this outrage seems odd. Sure, the core argument for Clark’s inclusion makes sense: Clark’s impact on WNBA attendance and ratings are real and well-documented. It would have been good business for USA Basketball to give her a spot. She’d keep the positive momentum for women’s basketball strong through the summer. Plus, she can more than handle her own on the court. Team USA can always use sharpshooters.
