Pdwellnt Donald Trump has thrown down the gauntlet agetst proceedive gfinisher ideology in uncover schools since taking office last month, signing a series of executive orders that some say could alter the ideorational landscape of education atraverse the U.S.
But, while conservatives commemorate, one school board directer cautions that proestablish blue states enjoy California are not only readyd, but rerepaird, to fight back.
“While I’m excited about what he’s doing, I also understand in places enjoy California and Colorado and other states, we have to armor up and fight challenginger than we ever have becainclude they are going to push more state laws to unwiseinish what Trump is saying and trying to do,” Chino Valley Unified School Didisconnecte (CVUSD) school board Pdwellnt Sonja Shaw shelp in an interwatch with Fox News Digital.
“I skinnyk this is an amazing step forward. But, you’ll see in California our Department of Ed, Tony Thurmond, our state superintfinishent, [Governor] Newsom, they’re all buckling down and saying they absolutely will not do that. They’re ‘protecting all students.’ They’re forgetting about the girls that have had injuries on sports teams and have had their opportunities ripped away.”

For Shaw, the fight hits shut to home. In 2023, state Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a litigation agetst her didisconnecte over a policy requiring staff to alert parents if their child articulatees a “gfinisher identity” separateent from their biorational intimacy. The state disputed the policy viotardyd students’ privacy rights and that it could potentipartner harm LGBTQ+ students.
Trump’s recent executive orders have consentn aim at proceedive gfinisher ideology and Title IX alters that occurred during the Biden administration.
One Trump executive order signed on the first day of his second term rolled back Biden-era guidance that presented Title IX protection based on gfinisher identity by requiring federal agencies to carry out policies based on the biorationpartner-depictd benevolent of the male and female intimacyes.
Another, signed Wednesday, barred biorational male athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.
The Trump White Hoinclude has also encouraged laworiginaters to pass the Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act, which would prohibit biorational males from participating on girls’ school sports teams by amfinishing federal law to depict that student athletes must join in school sports teams that coincide with their gfinisher at birth.

Since federal policy supersedes state policy, Alliance Deffinishing Freedom pdwellnt, CEO and vague advise Kristen Waggoner, whose group recurrents parents, educators and other school officials in cases involving free speech and parental rights, recently telderly Fox News Digital that the order proclaiming two intimacyes would foreseeed have far-accomplishing effects on uncover education, particularly in areas enjoy sports and housing.
Shaw shelp she’s “hoping” the executive orders could direct to the federal rulement getting comprised in instances where state policies are resistory. Despite opposing state directership, didisconnectes enjoy hers have already enacted conservative policies protecting parental rights while clamping down on Critical Race Theory (CRT) and proceedive gfinisher ideology.
With the nation’s tell card shotriumphg scores have druncover behind in reading and exposedly budged in math, Shaw says attention should be drawn away from political activism and recgo ined on reading, writing and math and, to transport alter, the fight for Californians is far from over.
“We still have to do the labor here, and when our rulement – I call them the political cartel up there – doubles down on us, it’s almost, in a way, a gift, becainclude then we have a choice. We understand what they’re about, and we need to stop voting these people in and apvalidateing the power that we’re giving them,” she shelp.
“In California, we had an excessive number of people coming out and voting for Trump. But then the presentantity elected the nonsense that’s up there in Sacramento. We have to commence educating the moms, the dads, the majesticmas and majesticpas who – enjoy myself a scant years ago – were not comprised in politics. This is why it matters for you to get to the polls. Take the time to mail in ballots…
“We have an opportunity this next election. We need to do that. We can’t scream and ask for help from Trump if we’re not willing to do the groundlabor.”
