Assemblymen Pulls Son From Public School in Response to Transgender Law
California Assemblymen reportedly pulls son from public school in response to transgender locker room sharing law. Is he overreacting or are you consider the same reaction?
A Republican state lawmaker says a new California law allowing transgender students to choose which restroom and locker room they use has caused his family to pull at least one son from their local public school, according to a report by KCRA news.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly reportedly wrote in a column that his sons were "horrified" to learn they might have to share a restroom with female students. He told The Associated Press on Friday that he is pulling one son out of middle school, while another son is uncertain if he will return to his public high school.
Donnelly's statements are reported to have come in light of the filed referendum seeking to overturn AB1266.
