Today we learned from Assemblyman Bill Essayli that Bonta's admission in court that California Department of Education guidance to keep secrets from parents is unenforceable. This is a victory for parents and school board members who will not be intimated by empty lawsuits and threats.

We supported Assemblyman Essayli's legislation AB 1314 this last session which would have permanently codified a parent's right to know if schools are social transitioning their child's gender.

PERK encourages every California school district to immediately repeal any secrecy policies that were implemented as a result of unenforceable guidelines illegally issued by the California Department of Education.
