<p>A new California law will require all of the state&#8217;s public schools to soon have a gender-neutral bathroom.</p>
<p>Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2023/09/23/governor-newsom-signs-legislation-supporting-lgbtq-californians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> the law on Saturday.</p>
<p>Under the new bathroom law, public schools teaching first through 12th grade must have at least one gender-neutral bathroom available for students by 2026.</p>
<p>California already <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-xpm-2013-aug-12-la-me-pc-gov-brown-acts-on-transgender-bill-20130812-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires</a> K-12 public schools to allow students to use the bathroom of the opposite sex if it matches their gender identity, due to a 2013 law.</p>
<p>However, the new law expands the bathroom requirements to explicitly require another gender-neutral restroom.</p>
<p>Several other bills Newsom signed on Saturday <a href="https://ktla.com/news/california/ap-california-gov-gavin-newsom-signs-bills-to-enhance-the-states-protections-for-lgbtq-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">geared toward</a> LGBT youth as well.</p>
<p>One bill involves &#8220;LGBTQ cultural competency <a href="https://trackbill.com/bill/california-assembly-bill-5-the-safe-and-supportive-schools-act/2282281/#:~:text=AB%205%2C%20Zbur.-,The%20Safe%20and%20Supportive%20Schools%20Act.,and%20provide%20instruction%20to%20pupils." target="_blank" rel="noopener">training</a>&#8221; for public school teachers and staff. Another new law <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB407" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires</a> foster care families to &#8220;demonstrate an ability and willingness to meet the needs of a child, regardless of the child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.&#8221;</p>
<p>“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community, and we’re committed to the ongoing work to create safer, more inclusive spaces for all Californians,” Newsom said in a statement upon signing the law.</p>
<p>“These measures will help protect vulnerable youth, promote acceptance, and create more supportive environments in our schools and communities,” the governor said.</p>
<p><a href="https://ktla.com/news/california/ap-california-gov-gavin-newsom-signs-bills-to-enhance-the-states-protections-for-lgbtq-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According</a> to The Associated Press, the gender-neutral bathroom law &#8220;was spurred&#8221; by a Los Angeles area school district that recently implemented a policy on student gender transitions.</p>
<p>The Chino Valley Unified School District <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-state-official-escorted-out-of-heated-school-board-meeting-on-gender-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> a new policy in July requiring schools to inform parents if their child begins identifying as a new gender that does not match the one on their birth certificate. This includes if a student asks to use the bathroom or play on the sports teams of the opposite sex.</p>
<p>During the school board meeting at which Chino Valley district adopted the policy, California’s superintendent of public instruction Tony Thurmond was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/second-california-school-district-adopts-mandatory-gender-transition-parental-notification-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">escorted</a> out by security after he showed up to argue against it.</p>

<p>Last month, California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the Chino Valley district over the parental notification policy.</p>
<p>A judge has temporarily halted the district&#8217;s policy as the lawsuit proceeds.</p>
<p>The Chino Valley school board president responded to the state&#8217;s lawsuit by accusing state officials of “overstepping their boundaries.”</p>
<p class="Ekqk yuUa lqtk TjIX aGjv">“This is a ploy to try to scare all the other boards across California from adopting the policy,” Chino Valley school board president Sonja Shaw <a href="https://abc7.com/chino-rob-bonta-investigation-gender-identity/13603292/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “I won’t back down and will stand in the gap to protect our kids from big government bullies.”</p>
<p>In August, the Murrieta Valley Unified School District south of Los Angeles <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/second-california-school-district-adopts-mandatory-gender-transition-parental-notification-policy">adopted</a> a policy that mirrors the Chino Valley policy.</p>
<p>The California attorney general quickly denounced the Murrieta Valley district’s new policy as well, calling it a “forced outing policy.”</p>
