Help Us Fight Senate Bill 777
Join the California Education Committee »
As a brief reminder, last fall the California legislature passed Senate Bill 777, signed by Governor Schwarzenegger, thereby redefining the term "gender" for all public schools in California. According to SB 777, you are what you think you are, regardless of your biological make-up. Further, gender is now a protected classification under California's nondiscrimination laws.
Among other tragic consequences, this law will require the girls’ locker room in public schools to be open to any boy claiming to be a girl and vice versa. Our lawsuit seeks to reverse this law and the new definition of "gender” on the grounds that it is unconstitutionally vague and violates the right to privacy guaranteed to all public school children by the California Constitution.
The State recently filed a motion to dismiss the case. On August 22, 2008, the Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments. We will vigorously oppose this motion, in addition to filing a motion for summary judgment asking the Court to rule in our favor and strike down SB 777 as unconstitutional.
Advocates for Faith and Freedom has created a booklet about SB 777, its author, and SB 777’s future impact, if it is not overturned. If you would like copies of the booklet for yourself or others, please visit our Resources page or contact us at (888)588-6888.
It is important to spread the word in order to find situations where this law has been applied. Do you know any situation where a student or adult in California was forced to share a locker room, restroom, or other private facility with the opposite sex? If you or any of your friends and family have heard of a situation where a student or teacher was negatively affected by the implementation of SB 777 please contact us immediately by clicking here.
You can support our ministry and the vital work we are doing to protect children in California’s public schools by making a generous financial contribution. Financial support is crucial as we litigate this monumental case against former governor, and current California Attorney General, Jerry Brown and the state bureaucracy.
We realize how difficult it may be to donate at this time, however, justice never sleeps and our children cannot wait for us to protect them. Your donation is needed today to cover the incredible expense of this litigation. Click here to donate online.
As we stand at the beginning of a long and difficult battle over the implementation of SB 777, we are extremely grateful to have so many individuals who are committed to standing with us.
Please keep Advocates’ attorneys in your prayers this summer as we work on the briefing for the Court and prepare for oral arguments.
