“The stakes are really, really high,” school board member Nicolas Pardue said during the meeting. “We have young kids who are flirting with these different ideations about what their gender is at a very young age because right now the state of California, for whatever reason, is intent on allowing minors to alter who they are physically … and I think parents are very, very concerned about that.”

Pardue went on to say that “at the very least they (parents) get a heads up. ‘Hey, this is happening to your fourth-grader, fifth-grader, sixth-grader. You might want to know about this.’”
