California Bans Schools from Informing Parents of Student Gender Identity

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law banning schools from notifying parents if their child identifies as a different gender or uses different pronouns, aiming to protect LGBTQ+ students. The law has been praised by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups but criticized by conservative groups and figures like Elon Musk, who announced plans to move SpaceX headquarters to Texas in response. The law, effective January, also mandates the state Department of Education to develop resources for families of LGBTQ+ students.
