** CPC's Action Network Win's Parental Notification Battles Across California
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear John,

Last Thursday marked our sixth win in California's school districts when Orange Unified passed our "parental notification" policy. We expect two similar wins in the coming weeks. Put simply, the policy stops public schools from assisting in the gender transition of students without notifying the child's parents.

Internal documents obtained by CPC show that dozens of California school officials have told staff to help students transition – and what's more, to hide that intervention from their parents. This policy bans that practice.

If that policy seems natural and reasonable, it is. So who's on the other side? The full power of the state of California.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond have threatened fines and lawsuits -- in the case of Chino Valley Unified, there's an actual lawsuit. In each district, teacher union leaders have labeled this "anti-trans" and say they'll continue to talk to kids about intimate family details, about switching genders, about medical interventions to change their bodies. They will -- as they have already – encourage the kids to lie to their parents about those conversations.

Here's CPC's role: We send our staff – armed with the sample policy, legal research and local parents – to talk with local school board members.

We help get the policy on the agenda and we support friendly boardmembers through radio and other media. And then we help turn out immense support to rival the unions' deployment of activist teachers in every one of these cases.

We've done this successfully six times. Each win represents hundreds of hours of CPC staff time. Help us double down! ([link removed])

That's where you come in. We need your financial support to continue this work. Similarly, if you have friends or trusted allies who want to support this important work, please forward this email to them. Our goal is to raise $300,000 by the end of the month ([link removed]) . ([link removed])

For our kids and for California,

AB 1078: Remote Sacramento Legislators Pass Unjust Laws

The state Senate passed AB 1078 this week in an effort to force local school boards to rubber-stamp instructional materials that promote critical race theory and gender ideology in K-12 schools. The bill is an attack on the long-standing authority of school boards over school district curricula. Lance Christensen lays out why it is one of the worst bills of 2023 in The ([link removed]) Epoch Times ([link removed]) .
