A California school district voted Thursday to require that school officials notify parents if their child wants to change their gender.
The Chino Valley Unified School District (CVSUD) voted 4-1 to approve a policy that requires school employees to inform parents within three days if their child wants to identify as a gender that is different from their biological sex, or asks to be referred to as a different name than their legal name. Dozens of parents spoke in favor of and against the policy, with some saying that they wanted their children to be protected and others saying it would harm transgender children.
“Tony Thurmond, I appreciate you being here tremendously, but here’s the problem, we’re here because of people like you. You’re in Sacramento, proposing things that pervert children. You had a chance to come and talk to me, Tony, by all means, you had a chance to come talk to me. Why was it so important for you to walk with my opponent? You are the very reason why we’re in this,” Sonja Shaw, president of the Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education, said during the meeting.
Thurmond, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, argued against the proposal and alleged that it “not only may fall outside of the laws that respect privacy and safety for our students, but may put our students at risk,” according to video of the meeting. He was later asked to leave by Shaw when he attempted to speak again and was escorted out by public safety officers.
“You will not bully us here in Chino,” Shaw told Thurmon after he attempted to rebut her statement.
Another win for parents.
Schools may no longer hide a child’s new name and pronouns from parents in the Chino Valley Unified School District.
Tremendous work by the school board at @ChinoValleyUSD. https://t.co/W6It3Hvdve

The policy, drafted by Shaw and Republican California Assemblyman Bill Essayli, was introduced in June. It also requires that parents be informed if a student is “accessing sex-segregated school programs and activities” or bathrooms that don’t match their biological sex, according to its text.

“Is there going to be a centralized pronoun notification database?,” one parent questioned, arguing the proposed policy would be a nuisance and be difficult to communicate between all the different teachers.
Democratic California State Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a statement Thursday expressing “serious concern” about the policy.
“The protection of every student’s privacy and safety is of utmost importance, and that includes protecting their right to choose when, how, and with whom they share their gender identity. That is a personal decision for them, and them alone,” Bonita said in the statement. ““By allowing for the disclosure of a student’s gender identity without their consent, Chino Valley Unified School District’s suggested Parental Notification policy would strip them of their freedom, violate their autonomy, and potentially put them in a harmful situation.”
CVSUD and Shaw did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
