Opposition to two pieces of legislation in California have steadily been rising as community members say they are becoming aware of their contents and how it would affect children’s education. Assembly Bill 329, a controversial K-12 sexual education law, was enacted in 2016, and Assembly Bill 493, which would mandate LGBT continuing education for teachers, including the use gender neutral pronouns with transgender students, is now moving through the state legislature.
Recently, a number of educators and medical professionals voiced their opposition to the information being taught to students about condom use and HIV prevention via the state’s “Teen Talk” sex education program.
