A California state senator suggested at a packed Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on a pro-transgender bill that fighting to preserve parental rights in the state is a lost cause and advised California parents to leave if they know what’s best for their children and families.

State Sen. Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita) made the remark at a June 13 hearing on proposed legislation that critics claim has been crafted to pressure family court judges to favor “gender-affirming” parents in child custody disputes.
