CA Beach Town Fights Newsom, Dems, Passes Ordinance To Become ‘Parents’ Right To Know City’

This week, the City Council of Huntington Beach, California, fought back against the leftist state by voting for an ordinance making the city a “Parents’ Right to Know City,” thus barring schools from keeping parents uninformed about their children’s “sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.”

California’s Assembly Bill 1955 prevents public schools from disclosing a student’s “sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression” to the child’s parents. The new ordinance, which was passed 4-3, would permit the city attorney to sue California and challenge the constitutionality of the legislation.

The Liberty Justice Center, which is challenging the constitutionality of AB 1955, released a statement celebrating the city’s new ordinance.

“The Liberty Justice Center is supporting parental rights in California by challenging AB 1955 and defending school districts from Chino Valley to Rocklin Unified. We are encouraged by the leadership of Huntington Beach City Council in enacting an ordinance that declares Huntington Beach a ‘Parents’ Right to Know City,” Senior Counsel Emily Rae stated, adding:

Parents are the legal guardians of their minor children and have the right to know what their children are doing at school. The vast majority of California voters across the political spectrum support parental rights. The Liberty Justice Center is proud to represent our clients in California for free and to support them in fighting for their individual rights and liberties as parents.

In mid-July, California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 1955 into law, making his state the first in the nation to ban school districts from alerting parents of their children’s sexuality or if they have adopted gender identities that conflict with those on their school records.

“This bill would prohibit school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and the state special schools, and a member of the governing board or body of those educational entities, from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule, or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent unless otherwise required by law,” Assembly Bill 1955 states. “LGBTQ+ pupils have the right to express themselves freely at school without fear, punishment, or retaliation, including that teachers or administrators might ‘out’ them without their permission. Policies that require outing pupils without their consent violate pupils’ rights to privacy and self-determination.”

In July 2023, the Chino Valley Unified School District became the state’s first to require parental notification if a student adopted a transgender identity. The following month, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a temporary restraining order to bar the district from implementing that policy.

“I can’t believe we’re at a point in America where authoritarians in power are fighting this hard to keep sexual secrets about children from their own parents,” Liberty Justice Center Board Member Corey DeAngelis stated. “They are now using the heavy hand of the state to subvert local control and try to strip away the most fundamental parental rights. I’m proud of the parents in Chino Valley Unified who are fighting back for their constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children. I’m proud to be a board member at Liberty Justice Center, fighting alongside them. We will win this war the authoritarians are waging on parents.”
