California bill would ban schools from telling parents if student identifies as LGBTQ: 'Gut-and-amend'

California lawmakers this week introduced a new bill that would ban school districts from notifying parents if their child identifies as LGBTQ.

Under the amended bill, called the "Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth," or SAFETY ACT, school districts would be banned from, what Ward described as, "forced outing policies."  Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more. 

In other words, educators could not notify parents about their students’ gender identity or sexual orientation if that were to come up at school. 

The move comes in response to multiple California school boards having voted to pass measures that require teachers to notify parents if their child identifies as transgender, changes their name or pronouns, or requests to access a restroom, changing room, or sport geared to the opposite sex.
