Huntington Beach Continues Fight for Parental Rights

The Huntington Beach City Council may soon consider an ordinance to oppose a newly signed California law that bars public schools from forcing teachers to notify families about a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity without the student’s permission.

Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark told news station Fox 11 that she plans to introduce the challenge to the state law at an upcoming council meeting. On Tuesday the council is scheduled to consider a motion to make Huntington Beach a “Parents’ Right to Know” city.

The proposal arrives after a contentious series of decisions by more than a dozen conservative-leaning school districts to impose parental notification policies that LGBTQ+ activists viewed as an avenue to out transgender students.

One of the first was Chino Valley Unified, which required teachers to contact a parent if their child asked to be “identified or treated” as having a gender other than their “biological sex” or the gender listed on their birth certificate.
