What stopping California’s anti-parent law AB 1955 means and doesn’t mean

Tuesday, March 3, 2026, 10:05 am | Randy Thomasson

If you’re glad about the U.S. Supreme Court’s action defeating part of the Democrat Party politicians’ transsexuality agenda, I’m happy about it too, without being Pollyannish.

The good news, of course, is that six judges on the U.S. Supreme Court are getting more supportive of God-given parental rights, and that California’s evil law AB 1955 is back where it belongs, under a permanent injunction.

If Newsom & Co. don’t appeal this latest court action, AB 1955, which prohibited parents from being told their own children were acting out as “trans” at school, will “die on the vine” instead of being directly struck down.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s action to “vacate the stay” of a liberal three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals means that constitutional and pro-family Judge Roger Benitez’s permanent injunction against AB 1955 stands.

As reported March 2, 2026 by the San Diego Union-Tribune:

In December, District Judge Roger Benitez ruled in favor of the Mirabelli plaintiffs, who now also include several parents who oppose such school policies.


Benitez issued a court order prohibiting California school employees from “misleading” parents about their child’s gender status, such as by using different pronouns or names with a parent than the student uses at school. His ruling also prohibited employees from using pronouns or names that differ from the student’s legal ones if the parents object.


The state promptly appealed Benitez’ decision, and in early January, the Ninth Circuit granted the state’s request to stay his ruling pending that appeal.

* * *

The Supreme Court lifted the stay based in part on its assessment of how likely it believes the parent plaintiffs are to succeed on the merits of their case.


“These policies likely violate parents’ rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children,” its ruling said.


Contrary to the Ninth Circuit, the Supreme Court majority found that Mahmoud does apply to Mirabelli. It said it considers California’s policies to be an even greater intrusion on parents’ exercise rights than the introduction of LGBTQ+ storybooks in schools it analyzed in the Mahmoud case, and that it doesn’t believe California’s policies are likely to survive the strict scrutiny standard it set in that case.

But the bad news is that AB 1955 is just the tip of the iceberg. Because there are 15 sexual indoctrination laws still requiring the brainwashing of every child in every California “public school.”

See 13 laws here, plus two more at our 2025 legislation archive, which details AB 727 (requires a pro-“LGBTQIA+” group’s phone number on student ID cards) and AB 715 (orders K-12 government schools to purge any scientific teaching about only two sexes and the natural family).

So, as I’ve been urging California parents for 17 years now — if you love your children, get them out of the godless government schools. See how at our special site for parents, Rescue Your Child. Children grow up fast, so please act now!

Will SCOTUS protect girls’ sports in California?

Wednesday, January 14, 2026, 12:07 pm | Randy Thomasson

Um, a dude in a sports bra and make-up is NOT female.

Because there are only two sexes: If you’ve inherited a Y chromosome from your father, you’re male; if not, you’re female. The laws of Nature and Nature’s God cannot be altered.

FAST FACTS:

  • The SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) hearing on Jan. 13 was on whether to strike down state laws in Idaho and West Virginia that prohibit biological males from invading women’s and girls’ school sports teams.
  • After nearly three-and-a-half hours of arguments, reasonable court observers predict the Republican states’ pro-family laws will not be deemed unconstitutional and will therefore survive.
  • In July 2025, the Trump Administration’s U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a California federal lawsuit alleging the State of California is violating Title IX by engaging “in illegal sex discrimination against female student athletes by allowing males to compete against them.”
  • Title IX is a U.S. federal civil rights law passed in 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal funding. When passed, it aimed to ensure equal opportunities for women and girls in educational settings.
  • In September 2025, three high school girls in Southern California, represented by Advocates for Faith & Freedom, filed a new federal lawsuit — in the same Central California federal court district that the DOJ filed its lawsuit — to protect the girls’ rights under Title IX and the U.S. Constitution.
  • The California cases challenging California’s AB 1266 could reach the nation’s high court as soon as 2027; however, they must first be heard in federal district court and federal appeals court.
  • AB 1266 (signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2013) requires all K-12 public schools to permit biological boys in girls’ restrooms, showers, clubs, and sports teams; and biological girls in boys’ restrooms, showers, clubs, and sports teams. The “right” to violate these sexual boundaries is solely a self-declaration of a different “gender identity.”

Bottom line, the right lawsuits challenging AB 1266 are in place, but the wait for a SCOTUS hearing could be one to two years from now.

In the meantime, for real protection of girls, there’s a sure way to safeguard your children and grandchildren from sexual indoctrination in the government schools. See our special website for parents, RescueYourChild.com.

Hellish new California laws from Dems & RINOs

Thursday, January 1, 2026, 10:37 pm | Randy Thomasson

As California’s governors and state legislators have gotten “progressively” worse, your domestic enemies (both Democrat Party politicians and RINOs) have invented new evil, as the Bible warns us they will do.

As of January 1, the awful bills that Gavin Newsom signed are now law. Democrat Party state legislators are three-fourths of both houses (the 40-member Senate and the 80-member Assembly) are Democrats. And too many Republicans, who should use their only power to expose evil, have become RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), who either vote in favor of Democrat bills or refuse to speak up to expose them.

Here are some of the worst, immoral, anti-family laws taking effect:

The outrageous new threat of AB 495 against impressionable children will primarily happen on government school campuses. Because parents aren’t there, and the 1-page form, which school staff must respect and obey, supersedes everything else. There is no proof of “relative” status required. For legal kidnapping to occur, all that’s needed is a compliant or confused child.

In the California statutes, “gender” already means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” AB 932 takes this and prohibits “gender discrimination” in all government-run sports programs (public schools, cities, counties, etc.). Thus, the new law’s result is that biological males must be permitted to play on females’ teams and use females’ locker rooms, showers, and restrooms. And four “Republicans” joining nearly all the Democrats in voting “yes” on AB 932 shows that with Democrat Party and RINO politicians, girls lose.

This is the opposite of what parents want and children need. For youth suicide rates are significantly higher in states promoting transsexuality to kids and offering them “puberty blockers” and other “trans drugs.” And the Trevor Project on the back of student ID cards goes to a website where children can meet adult “sex” predators, all hidden from parents. AB 727 received the “yes” votes of nearly all the Democrat Party state legislators.

Even if you support so-called “assisted suicide,” what if it involves murder? SB 403’s continuation of California’s badly-written “assisted suicide” law doesn’t even guarantee the choice of the person. Even if there was evidence of a struggle, and even if an heir was present, police and paramedics and district attorneys are ordered to look the other way. Because under this dangerous law, no investigation or charge is allowed.

Abortion pills frequently injure women and girls — and always kill an innocent human being, the baby. Yet AB 260, intent on killing preborn babies, would require pharmacists to dispense them, permits teenagers to obtain abortion pills anonymously, fast-tracks it for welfare recipients, requires coverage by Medi-Cal and private insurance plans, and exempts pushers of abortion drugs from “civil, criminal, disciplinary, or other administrative action” — despite the resulting injuries.

Although sold as combating antisemitism, this deceptive bill (a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus”) is based on Education Code, Section 220, which includes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.” As such, AB 715 orders K-12 “public” schools to purge any scientific teaching about human physiology and the natural family that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” (i.e., whatever “offends” LGBTQIA+ activists). In the State Legislature, most Democrats and 28 of 30 Republicans voted “yes” for this.

Please tell others about these new horrible laws now in effect in California. And please take action to protect your family where you can (AB 495 and AB 715 are even more reasons to get your precious children and grandchildren out of the government schools).
