Two California lawmakers have proposed three pieces of legislation that aim to restore parental authority in public schools, allow parents to opt their children out of any instruction involving gender ideology, and ban boys who identify as female from competing in girls’ sports and sharing bathrooms and locker rooms.

State Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo, a Republican, announced two of the bills at a press conference outside the state Capitol in Sacramento on Feb. 14.
