California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring K-12 schools to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.
The new law, Senate Bill 760, was among a series of laws signed by Newsom Saturday to expand protections for the state’s LGBTQ community.
“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community,” Newsom said in a statement.
Under the law, “each school district, county office of education, and charter school” would be required to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus on or before July 1, 2026. The bathroom must be available for use during school hours and during school functions when students are present, the law states.
So glad he’s focusing on the things that really matter.
Yes, it does matter. A positive and safe environment for students is imperative for them to learn. That includes trans and non-binary students.
well we know where your values stand on the subject
I agree, except without the sarcasm.
Like preventing discrimination because I can’t think of anything more important
I know, right?
