78: Temecula Girls Walk Out: Protecting Privacy + Legislature Doubles Down on AB 495

from Coffee, Culture, and the Capitol

In Episode 78, Greg and Sophia shine a spotlight on two powerful stories unfolding in California.First, Sophia reports from Temecula’s James L. Day Middle School, where girls — joined by supportive classmates and parents — walked out to protest a district policy that forces them to share locker rooms with boys. Students carried signs, wore white bows, and stood together for privacy and dignity, rejecting the idea that they need a “mental health” or “religious” exemption just to have female-only spaces.Then, the discussion turns to the State Capitol for an urgent update on AB 495, where legislators have doubled down on stripping parents of their rights. Instead of strengthening safeguards, the bill’s author and co-authors amended the proposal to make it even easier for non-parents to make critical decisions for children — cutting families further out of the picture.These two stories reveal the same troubling theme: government and institutions overstepping their bounds at the expense of parents and children. Greg and Sophia bring clarity, faith, and a call to action for families ready to stand firm.Learn more at CaliforniaFamily.org
