No educators with city programs “shall withhold any information related to a child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression” from parents, the law says.
Mayor Gracey Larrea-Van Der Mark pushed for the city ordinance saying no educators with city programs “shall withhold any information related to a child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.” The Huntington Beach City Council majority has supported a new law that would prevent educators working at city facilities from withholding any information related to children’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression from their parents.
The ordinance would also allow the City Council to authorize City Attorney Michael Gates to challenge the SAFETY Act in court and initiate legal action against the state on behalf of a parent that lives in the city “alleging violations of their rights” as a result of the new state law. Teamsters Local 911 President Carlos Rubio, in a letter to the council, said the union, which represents some city employees, has not been notified which positions the new law would affect.
