Hijacking the Family Structure With Government Overreach
Mike Fong has voted in favor of legislation like AB 1955, which prohibits schools from notifying parents about their child's gender identity or sexual orientation changes without the student's consent, effectively allowing secret transitions behind parents' backs and prioritizing bureaucratic discretion over family involvement. Additionally, he has supported initiatives that undermine merit-based standards by emphasizing diversity metrics over individual achievement in educational access and opportunity. These policies are harmful and impractical, reducing transparency and disincentivizing excellence in the school system.
Assembly Bill 1955 (2023-2024)
Taking Control of Your Children’s Lives Behind Your Back
Mike Fong voted yes on AB 1955, a bill that prohibits school staff from notifying parents if their child asks to change gender identity, pronouns, or use different facilities at school which deliberately hides critical information from moms and dads and lets unknown government officials make life-altering decisions behind parents' backs instead of trusting families to guide their own kids through sensitive matters.
Assembly Bill 495
Attempting to Plug a Leak With a Stick of Dynamite
Mike Fong voted yes on AB 495, a bill allowing a stranger to falsely claim to be a relative and take authority over a child's schooling and healthcare decisions with the schools and medical institutions having no responsibility to verify the identity of the individual being given authority over the child, and the parent’s never needing to give consent for this transfer of child care.
Senate Bill 48
Indoctrination Over Education
Mike Fong voted yes on SB 48, a bill that mandates schools to expand history and social science curriculum to emphasize the roles and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals and other groups while requiring the state to hire new discrimination prevention coordinators for religious, racial, ethnic, and sex-based issues, which adds costly bureaucratic positions and pushes a divisive, agenda-driven education agenda onto our children without giving parents meaningful input or opt-out options, prioritizing ideology over merit-based learning and family values in District 49 classrooms.
David’s Statement
Our education systems need to be concerned first and foremost with education, not ideology.
Every public school campus must have access to School Resource Officers equipped to handle emergencies.
You deserve peace of mind and transparency when sending your children to school.
I champion parental rights because I firmly believe that parents, not government officials, are best equipped to make decisions for their own children. As a father to my five-year-old son, I know firsthand how deeply personal and important these choices are, and I pledge to fight for a transparent, merit-based, and non-partisan school system that puts families first. I will work to empower parents in every aspect of their children’s education, rolling back restrictive policies that limit involvement and create unnecessary barriers between families and schools. This is about family-centered governance, not inefficient mandates from Sacramento. Together, we can restore trust in our education system by making it merit-driven, transparent, and truly accountable to the parents who know their children best.
