The National Action Network was created, according to the organization, “to promote a modern civil rights agenda that includes the fight for one standard of justice, decency and equal opportunities for all people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, criminal record, economic status, gender, gender expression, or sexuality.”

“California law is unaffected by recent changes to federal policy and continues to provide safeguards against discrimination and harassment based on gender, gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation,” he wrote in a statement.

Gender expression in schools: A first-in-the-nation law now bans school districts from requiring staff or teachers to disclose to parents if a student starts using a new pronoun or identifies as a different gender.

Riverside County officials could not be reached Saturday for comment, but in a statement published by the San Francisco Chronicle, district spokesperson Liz Pinney-Muglia said that “California state law prohibits discrimination of students based on gender, gender identity and gender expression, and specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in physical education and athletics.”

One resolution aims to “Reaffirm Our Commitment to Immigrant Students, Families, and Staff,” as its title indicates, and also to update the district’s existing policy to “enforce the respectful treatment of all persons to include gender identity and gender expression.”
