BILL | SUMMARY | STATUS |
(OPPOSE) Gender and Sex Education for K-8 StudentsAB 86 (Boerner) would require the State Board of Education to adopt sexual health education materials for K-8 students, including content on sexual identity, gender expression, and sexuality. These are deeply personal topics that families, not schools should guide. Parents should have the right to decide when and how to introduce these conversations in a way that aligns with their values and their child's readiness.
TAKE ACTION:Contact your California Assembly member and urge him or her to vote "No" on AB 86.

(OPPOSE) – Free Condoms for StudentsSB 608 (Menjivar) will mandate that all public and charter schools serving grades 7-12 must provide condoms, ensuring they are easily accessible to students. Additionally, it blocks school districts from banning condom distribution in sex education programs, peer-led health initiatives, school health fairs, and other public health efforts.
SB 608 doesn’t stop at schools—it also demands that nonprescription contraception, including condoms and birth control pills, be available in pharmacies, grocery stores, and retail outlets without age-based restrictions.
TAKE ACTION:Contact your California Senator and urge him or her to vote "No" on SB 608.

(OPPOSE) Religious Schools Face Challenges with New LGBTQ Rights BillAB 727 (Gonzalez) requires all students in grades 7-12 (public, charter, and private) to have contact information for the Trevor Project, an organization that actively promotes LGBTQ ideology, printed on their school ID.
Schools should not be required to promote specific organizations or viewpoints, especially on sensitive issues like LGBTQ rights. This bill forces schools to endorse a particular agenda.
The biggest concern is the impact on religious schools. Many have beliefs about marriage, gender, and sexuality that conflict with the Trevor Project’s views. Requiring compliance violates their First Amendment rights and parents' rights to make faith-based decisions for their children.
TAKE ACTION:Contact your California Assembly member and urge him or her to vote "No" on AB 727.
