The law applies to students in grades 7 through 12 and to all college campuses that issue IDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new mandate is yet another example of the state\u2019s growing push to inject progressive sexual and gender ideology into every corner of public education. Instead of promoting neutral mental-health resources available to all students, the state has chosen a hotline that explicitly markets itself around LGBT identity and activism. The Trevor Project has long advanced positions that align with radical gender theory, including the idea that minors should have access to gender-transition procedures without parental consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor Newsom praised the measure, claiming it would make LGBT students feel \u201cseen\u201d and \u201csupported.\u201d Assemblymember Mark Gonz\u00e1lez, who sponsored the bill, echoed that language, saying the hotline would help ensure that such youth are \u201cnever alone.\u201d Yet the bill ignores the rights of parents and the broader need for mental-health resources that serve every student equally, regardless of ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By mandating a politically charged resource on every student\u2019s ID, the state blurs the line between education and activism. California schools are already required to include suicide-prevention hotlines and other general support numbers, yet this new law singles out one group and one organization that promotes a highly controversial worldview. Rather than strengthening families or fostering moral responsibility, Sacramento continues to sideline parents and promote social agendas under the banner of \u201csupport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning July 1, 2026, every public secondary and college student in California will carry an ID card displaying The Trevor Project\u2019s number\u2014an unmistakable signal that the state\u2019s education system now prioritizes ideological conformity over parental rights and true moral formation. This latest measure confirms that California\u2019s leadership remains more interested in reshaping children\u2019s beliefs than in protecting their well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law, AB 727, requiring all public middle and high schools\u2014as well as colleges\u2014to print the phone number of The Trevor Project, an LGBT-focused hotline, on student identification cards.
