(The following was received in an email to California Catholic Daily.)
We are advocating for policies that promote all children’s rights and well-being.
– Require schools to notify parents regarding children’s mental health concerns identified in school settings, including gender identification issues.
– Protect girls competitive sports and school spaces to be for biological girls only.
– Prevent the sterilization of children by prohibiting the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, mastectomies and genital surgeries for minors.
STOP SCHOOLS FROM KEEPING SECRETS FROM PARENTS
Involvement of parents in decisions about their children’s lives is critical. Not only should schools not be allowed to keep secrets from parents about their kids, but schools should get parental consent before they begin socially transitioning kids at school.
PROTECT GIRLS’ SPORTS AND SPACES
It’s simply not fair to let biological boys compete against our daughters in sports. We must ensure girls competitive athletics means biological girls only. We must also protect our children’s privacy and safety when using school facilities. Sex-segregated locker rooms and restrooms should be based on biological sex.
PROTECT KIDS FROM STERILIZATION AND MUTILATION
Minors cannot consent to sterilization or removing healthy body parts. To protect the future reproductive and sexual health of children into adulthood, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, mastectomies, and transitional genital surgeries for minors should not be allowed.

This all boils down to the protection of the family. Pray the Rosary for for this important initiative.
No this interferes with the family.
No. Every one of us Catholics is called to fight Satan, trying to destroy traditional (one man, one woman) marriage and family and the schools. Get Satan out of our schools in California.
The government should make policies that support families. This has nothing to do with marriage. And if they can make laws telling you what pills your kids can take and what surgeries they can have, it can go the other way, too.
Do you want the government telling you that you have to abort a child with birth defects because they will need surgery that is illegal if you have the baby?
These people, I hope, mean well but if you remember the 1990s, this is Hilary on steroids.
The younger generation does not fear totalitarianism.
No. The right way to support families is to first of all, make policies that support traditional (man-woman) solid marriages and children born to them. And to discourage all evils of sexual immorality, like “shacking up.” Our society must support Pro Life from conception to natural death. Abortion should be banned. A baby is a big responsibility, not an immature, immoral “choice.” We need good maternity homes and adoption services, for out-of-wedlock pregnant mothers– and to ban abortions. Our country must make policies to encourage and support traditional (man-woman) Marriage and family– it is the foundation of a society and of all civilization. Children should be born and raised in a family of two solidly-married (one man and one woman) parents. No baloney.
Traditional (man-woman) Marriage and family is very important. Extremely important for children. No “shack-ups,” out-of-wedlock kids, and no pervert gay sex acts nor gay “marriage.” And run Satan out of California schools, drive him over the cliffs into the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen again.
Maternity homes?
Really?
I get it now. You’re making fun of Catholics.
There are many good pro life crisis pregnancy centers, that provide maternity home services, for women in crisis pregnancies.
You were right. There are maternity homes. We can do better as a society than this.

Thumbs up!
According to Saint John Paul II: Marriage does not exist merely as a natural union, but also as a of grace and salvation-not only to the husband and wife but to the fruit of their marriage generates within the culture. But this depends on whether spouses will embrace the trust of who they are in Christ and live according to that truth.
No diversity
And of course, the donate button.
It’s already too late for California. The only way to protect kids in California is to move to a better state.
The latest Gallup poll, which they have conducted yearly for 20-plus years shows that only 36% of U.S. adults are satisfied with the schools. But, 76% of parents with kids in K-12 are satisfied with the education their children receive. Dislike for the schools is the result of bad media reports. We may not like one or two very important things about the schools, but that doesn’t; mean that the rest of the school process is horrible. Now, if you want to get into a discussion about the comparison of our system to the rest of the modern world, that is for another day.
You must be a Democrat.
Restrainer – Nope, I’m not a Democrat, I just look at the data, and the data says …
In our area the schools are full, parents are supporting their kids and the teachers, helping the PTA fundraisers, and just generally trying to get a good education for their offspring. At the polls, the area is split about 50/50 Republican/Democrat, and highly diverse racially, ethnically, etc. It’s kind of a model for America. And the data says …
Bob One– many parents today, are waking up to the evil, “woke” indoctrination of their children, in public schools– and fighting it strongly. You need to keep up with what is going on, today.
I would never put my kids in public schools.
Use the Catholic schools.
Catholic schools are hardly better, especially not the high schools. Maybe elementary schools are okay.
I just read an interesting news story, all about thousands of Christian families in Mexico, grabbing tons of government-approved schoolbooks with sex education, LGBT and gender ideology, and Marxist-Communist-indoctrination, and throwing them all into huge bonfires, out in city streets. Good for them.
Book burning – Anytime a book is burned civilization loses. Assuming age-appropriate materials, schools are where ideas are studied, selections made, and people are formed. At some point, even lower-level kids need to understand that their classmate has two same-sex parents. That is reality, and the child was made in the image of God. Marxist-Communist indoctrination needs a definition. How do you define it? It is important that we don’t indoctrinate anyone in schools, but most people don’t know the difference between Marxism, communism, and socialism. Give us your definition
No, Bob One. Corrupting and destroying innocent children, with sinful material in schoolbooks– throws innocent children, made by God, into the evil hands of the Devil– and completely destroys civilization. You must be a person of integrity, Good Character, a good moral conscience, leading a good life, with an excellent education, to teach, or to work with children. You do not want deviant criminals indoctrinating your kids, with Marxist-Communist ideology, or grooming them for involvement in pornography, sex acts, gay sex acts, abortions (greedy money for Planned Parenthood), false gender ideology and gender “transitions” and mutilations, etc. No deviant, immoral, filthy, criminal “Theodore McCarrick” perverts, Planned Parenthood abortionists, dirty pornographers, or filthy, pervert LGBT activists and Drag Queens, teaching our kids. A school is not a dangerous pornographic bookstore in the Castro district of San Francisco, with human trafficking nearby. Today, the largest consumer of evil human trafficking– to include child prostitutes– is the United States. Go see the film, “Sound of Freedom,” starring Jim Caviezel. It is the true story of Tim Ballard, a Mormon from Utah, and a former government agent, and undercover operative, who became an anti-human trafficking activist, with many dangerous missions to save children enslaved in filthy, evil, child prostitution. Burn those books. Save our children. Thousands of good, Christian Mexican parents are burning evil, sinful textbooks– demanding that their Ministry of Education (Secretariat of Public Education–a Mexican Cabinet post) provide their children with truly good, decent schoolbooks. Hope and pray that they win.
Pornography, human trafficking, and sex buying, gay “marriage,” and gay child adoptions, are all extremely destructive to civilization– besides being extremely sinful– and should be prohibited by law. Children must be taught good moral behavior, mature thinking and behavior, self-control of emotions and passions, to lead a good moral life, with a good moral conscience, and that sex belongs only as a part of a lifelong, loving, faithful, traditional (man-woman) Marriage. Period. Sex outside the holy vows of Marriage (fornication, shacking-up, seeking prostitutes, adultery, etc.) is extremely sinful, and destructive to civilization.
Wow it was good for my mental health to take a break from CCD for a little while.
