President Donald Trump Has thrown the glove against progressive gender ideology in public schools since he took office last month, in which a series of executive orders is signed, some of which could change the ideological landscape of education in the US
But while conservatives celebrate, one school board leader warns that deep blue states such as California are not only prepared, but determined, to fight back.
“Although I am enthusiastic about what he does, I also know in places like California and Colorado and other states, we have to get harder and fight harder than we ever have because they are going to push more state laws to reduce what Trump is saying and trying to “said Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) School board President Sonja Shaw in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“I think this is a great step forward. But in California you will see our ED, Tony Thurmond department, our State Superintendent, (Governor) Newsom, they are all crushed and say they will absolutely not do that. They ‘all protect it Students.

For Shaw the fight touches close to home. In 2023, the Attorney General Rob Bonta brought a lawsuit against her district About a policy that requires staff To inform parents if their child expresses a “gender identity”, other than their biological sex. The State argued that the policy has violated the privacy rights of students and that it could possibly harm LGBTQ+ students.
The recent executive orders of Trump have focused on progressive gender ideology and title IX changes that took place during the Biden administration.
A Trump Executive Order Signed on the first day of his second term, BIDEN-EGEMS REALLY RADED That title IX-protection offered to be obliged to implement policies on the basis of gender identity on the basis of the biologically defined understanding of the male and female genera.
Another, signed Wednesday, Bannen biological male athletes From participating in girls and women’s sports.
Trump’s White House has also urged legislators to take on the protection of the sports law of women and girls, which forbid biological men to participate in sports teams for girls by changing federal law to specify that student athletes should have Participate in school sports teams who coincide with coincides that coincide with their gender at birth.

As federal policy replaces state policy, Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO and General Counselor Kristen Wagoner, whose group parents, educators and other school officials represents in cases with regard to freedom of expression and parental rights, recently recently Fox News Digital told That the order confirming two sexes would probably have far -reaching consequences for public education, in particular in areas such as sports and homes.
Shaw said that she ‘hopes’ that the executive orders can lead to the federal government being involved in cases where state policy is contradictory. Despite opponents of state leadership, districts such as those of her already conservative policy have established that protecting parent rights while clinging the critical racing theory (CRT) and progressive gender ideology.
With the report of the nation that shows that scores are lagging behind and hardly given in mathematics, Shaw says that attention should be made of political activism and recently to be made about reading, writing and mathematics and, to bring change, the struggle for Californians is far from over.
“We still have to do the work here, and when our government – I call them the political cartel above – it doubles us, it is almost, in a sense, a gift, because we then have a choice. We know what they ‘about’ about , and we have to stop voting these people and allowing the power we give them, “she said.
“In California we had an extreme number of people who came out and vote for Trump. But then the majority chose the nonsense there in Sacramento. We have to start training the mothers, fathers, the grandmothers and grandpa that – Just like myself – like myself – a few years ago – were not involved in politics.
“We have a chance these next elections. We have to do that. We can’t scream and ask Trump for help if we are not willing to do the base.”
