The California State Board of Education passed a sweeping overhaul of its health education guidance, which mostly relates to the topics of nutrition, staying active and confronting the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. However, it’s the sex-related issues that drew the most attention.

Public school teachers in California have been given a new directive on how to approach LGBTQ and transgender topics in health education courses. The state’s education agency on Wednesday approved new measures that encourages teachers to talk about gender identity with kindergartners, and advice for LGBTQ teenagers.

For example, the new guidance tells teachers that it is okay for kindergarten students to identify as transgender students, and the new provisions give teachers tips on how to talk with those students about it. “As the parent of three kids, we’re on a careful trajectory here not to be introducing things as though they are endorsed in some way,” said Linda Darling-Hammond, president of the California State Board of Education.

The pushback from parents didn’t end just there. Patricia Reyes is a 45-year-old who traveled a daylong trip from Southern California to protest the measures. Her 4-year-old daughter, Angeline, who’s just one of her six children, carried a sign that stated:"Protect my innocence and childhood." “I’m never taught about how to be in a relationship with gay men,” Rajah said. He went on to say “conversation with sex starts from a different place.”
