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

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!

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”
