Speaker 1 (00:00):
I say it again, Charlama are Charlottemagne is true?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yes donkey today for Tuesday July sixteenth goes the law
makers in California.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Today the sixteenth right.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yes, Tuesday July sixteenth goes the law makers in California
who yesterday made California the first US state the banded
school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their
child's gender identification change under a law signed Monday by
Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You heard me right, California is the first.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Date the band's school rules requiring parents getting notified of
their child's pronoun change. Let's go to w lby three
news for the report.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Please it's a.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
First in the nation law. The governor band's policies that
require teachers to tell parents that their child asked to
change their gender identification.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Well, I think with the governor signing ABY nineteen fifty five,
it's actually go to just cause more confusion.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Rockland unifided is one of at least six other districts
in the state that tried passing similar policies. Many met
with legal challenges, and while it's being praised as a
way to protect LGBTQ students, from so called forced outings.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
If parents aren't supportive of their children, then the children
shouldn't have to tell the parents.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Some say it could interfere with parent transparency.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, the biggest sticking point in why I'm opposed to
AB nineteen fifty five is that it's going to have
others on the other side try to force school districts
to keep secrets from parents, and I think that's a
non starter for me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I agreed that was actually a WLBT three news for
the report, and this is where politicians lose me every
damn time. I wouldn't care if my child identified as
a teenage mutant Ninja turtle. Okay, they could come in
that classroom and say they Leonardo Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo. Teacher,
you better tell me so I know what the hell
is going on. Got me confused as hell when my
(01:58):
kid comes home craving pizza all the day, walking around
with weapons like nunchucks and twin katanas, a bow twin side,
they doing kicks, wearing bandana mask and I'm trying to
figure out what the hell is going on. Then I
come to you, okay as a parent, Okay, parent to
teacher and ask you if you've noticed any changes, and
you tell me you're not allowed to disclose that information. See,
this is the problem we us, Okay, as a society
(02:19):
were not a village, right, were not a village when
it comes to our kids. Were supposed to work as
one unit. What I don't see as a parent, you
may see as a teacher. What you don't know about
my child. As a teacher, I may have information as
a parent that can help you. We gotta work in
concert with each other, okay. Brandon Richards, a spokesperson for
Gavin Newsom, says this law helps keep children safe while
(02:39):
protecting the critical role of parents. He said in the statement,
it protects the child parent relationship by preventing politicians and
school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters and attempting
to control if, when, and how families have deeply personal conversations. Brandon,
as your leader, Joe Biden says, quite often, that's a
bunch of malarkey. To me, you're doing the opposite. If
(03:01):
my child comes out at school, comes out to you,
but haven't come out to me yet, then that means
my child maybe dealing.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
With a whole lot of backlash.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
A whole lot of hate, a whole lot of prejudice
that their young mind can't navigate through.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And I would like to be there to help them
do that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
What happens if my child, you know, God forbid, kills
themselves because they are getting bullied because of their gender identity.
And I had no idea, Okay, I had no idea
that's what they even identified as.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I didn't know they identified as something else.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
How can you, as a teacher's, sleep at night knowing
you knew but didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Tell me their parent are guardian?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And how hot would a parent be if they found
out you had that information and didn't tell me. Jonathan Zacherson,
an advocate in California who supports what this article calls
the parental notification policies, opposes the law and said telling
parents about a student's request to change their gender identification
is critical to the well being of children and for
(03:53):
maintaining that trust between school and parents. I agree, Okay,
it's critical to the well being of children because well,
you know, we know how daddy and mommy issues impact
us in the future. And listen, a lot of times
kids be thinking their parents are gonna be mad at
things their parents.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Not even tripping on.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Okay, Yes, if your child comes to you and tells
you they identify as another gender, it's gonna take you aback,
but that's still your child. And most parents are gonna
love their children regardless. The ones that don't, they're just
terrible people.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I understand that coming out to your parents is hard. Okay,
deciding when to come out as difficult.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I get it. People want to do it on their
own terms.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But when you do come out, I feel like it
should be you know your parents first.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
But I don't even want.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
To get caught up in the LGBTQ Disney plus of
it all. I just encourage my kids to tell me everything.
The secrets we keep as a society have done nothing
but hurt us. Okay, we don't do ourselves any favor
by keeping secrets, which is why I tell my kids
to tell me everything.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
We will figure it out.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Don't lie to me, don't keep nothing from me, because
nobody gonna help you navigate whatever it is you dealing
with better than me and your mama. Okay, your real
day ones. Teachers, we have to help each other.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Parents.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
We send our kids off the school every day, our
kids spend a large part of their days at school
with teachers.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I feel that teachers should be.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Required to tell parents of any changes to their child's emotional, mental,
or physical health.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's only right, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And as a parent, if I know my child has
some issues, I should have to tell the teacher to
tell the teacher about those issues in order to make
their job easier so they can make the proper adjustments.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
All right, That's just the way the world should work.
This child is your.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Responsibility part time for a brief moment in time. This
child is my responsibility forever until they become an adult
and start taking care of me. So therefore, you better
tell me everything you know about my child. Tell me
everything you learn about my child. Why, because that's my child.
Once again, we don't do ourselves any favors by keeping secrets,
and we damn sure don't need California lawmakers making laws
(05:45):
to assist my child in keeping them. Please give California
lawmakers who made Cali the first US state the band
school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their
child's gender identification change the biggest he huh, And to me,
this ain't even about gender identification. It's just about encouraging
children to keep secrets from their parents.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I ain't with that.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I don't think there's any parents that will agree with this.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't know.

especially because I only know about the black community. Why
do we say that, especially in the black community. I'm
