CA Bill Would Ban Schools From Outing LGBTQ Youth

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports:

San Diego state Assemblymember Chris Ward introduced legislation Wednesday, May 22, that would require school districts and charter schools to keep students’ gender identity and sexual orientation private, amid legal battles — including in San Diego County — over what schools should and should not tell parents of LGBTQ+ students.

Assembly Bill 1955 would prohibit any policy requiring public school employees to notify parents or otherwise disclose information about a student’s gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation to anyone without the student’s consent — what advocates call forced outing.

The bill would invalidate any policies already adopted by school districts across the state, such as Chino Valley Unified, which was sued by the attorney general last year for requiring that parents be notified if a student requests to be addressed by a different name or pronouns.
