California Enacts Law Protecting LGBTQ Student Privacy
TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the SAFETY Act, making California the first state to ban schools from forcibly outing LGBTQ students without their consent. The law protects students' privacy and shields school staff from retaliation for non-compliance with outing policies. This move aims to combat politically motivated attacks on queer and transgender students and allows teachers to focus on education rather than policing gender identities.
