   There is a very simple solution for this stupid Newsom problem.   
      
   If the state of California is determined to do unsurp parental rights, then   
   the parents should disown the kid at the first sign of transgender silliness   
   and make it a ward of the state.   
      
   It will turn out just like the goatfuck that the stupid fast food wage   
   increase did.   
      
   SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law barring   
   school districts from passing policies that require schools to notify   
   parents if their child asks to change their gender identification.   
      
   The law bans rules requiring school staff to disclose a student’s gender   
   identity or sexual orientation to any other person without the child’s   
   permission. Proponents of the legislation say it will help protect LGBTQ+   
   students who live in unwelcoming households. But opponents say it will   
   hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with parents.   
      
   The law comes amid a nationwide debate over local school districts and the   
   rights of parents and LGBTQ+ students.   
      
   California Assemblymember Chris Ward, a Democrat representing San Diego,   
   introduced the legislation because of what he called a “growing national   
   attack” on LGBTQ people.   
      
   “Although many LGBTQ youth have supportive families, some unfortunately   
   continue to face rejection and are exposed to serious harm if pre-maturely   
   forced to reveal their identity,” Ward said on the Assembly floor last   
   month.   
      
   In a May statement announcing the legislation, his office said more than a   
   dozen public school district across the state had proposed or enacted   
   "forced outing policies" that put transgender, nonbinary and other LGBTQ+   
   youth "at risk" by violating their privacy.   
      
   The policies require that parents be notified if a child requests to change   
   their gender identification. That led to pushback by Democratic state   
   officials, who say students have a right to privacy.   
      
   California Attorney General Rob Bonta challenged such a policy at the Chino   
   Valley Unified School District in San Bernardino County by filing a lawsuit   
   last year. The district has since changed its policy to require parental   
   notification when a pupil asks to change their student records, but not   
   specifically their pronouns.   
      
   But Jonathan Zachreson, an advocate in California who supports the so-called   
   parental notification policies, opposes the law and said telling parents   
   about a student’s request to change their gender identification is   
   “critical   
   to the well-being of children and for maintaining that trust between schools   
   and parents.”
