A developing state-policy debate over West Seventh may be relevant to families and taxpayers in lawmakers push to ban secret student pronoun changes, keep parents involved.
The bill would withhold federal funding from schools if they do not implement policies which require parental permission before a student can change their name or pronouns at school.
The “Prohibiting Parental Secrecy Policies in Schools Act,” sponsored by Republican California Rep.
Doug LaMalfa, would withhold federal funding from schools if they do not implement policies which require parental permission before a student can change their name or pronouns at school.
The legislation was drafted as a response to a lawsuit from Aurora Regino, who is suing Chico Unified School District after a counselor allegedly helped her daughter secretly transition genders, LaMalfa told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“[Regino] came and talked to my team.
My heart went out to her as we talked,” LaMalfa told the DCNF.
“This is her daughter and the school system is trying to align things in such a way that kids shouldn’t trust their parents.
As the measure advances, residents of West Seventh can follow amendments and contact Erin Murphy regarding the final language.
