Radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Tuesday criticized a California law that blocks schools from mandating teachers inform parents about their child’s gender identity changes.
The law, which California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed on Monday, only permits teachers to reveal this information to parents if the child allows them to, according to The Associated Press. Charlamagne on “The Breakfast Club” called the law absurd, saying teachers must let parents know about “everything” that happens with their child.

“I think this bill is everything that’s wrong with our politics today,” Essayli said in a video posted to X. “This bill is built on a foundation of disinformation, hyperbole and fearmongering. If the reality was as my Democrat colleagues painted, I would agree with you. I would be standing in support of you. But that’s not the reality, so let’s for once have an intellectual debate about what’s happening in our schools and what is happening in our state.”
Essayli noted that teachers were being “put in a position to lie to parents,” with the presiding officer turning off his mic and claiming he was “out of order.”
“I am tired of being interrupted by you,” he continued, pointing toward where Democrats sat and adding, “You do not interrupt them—”
