In Episode 73 of Coffee, Culture, and the Capitol, Greg Burt and Sophia Lorey team up to break down a turbulent week at the Capitol where parental rights, school choice, and biological truth are under legislative attack.

Join Greg and Sophia as they expose the dangers behind four controversial bills moving through the legislature:

🎒 AB 84 – Killing School Choice in California

Greg and Sophia dissect Assembly Bill 84, revealing how it threatens to:

Slash funding for over 222,000 non-classroom-based charter students.

Ban new homeschool-friendly charters in smaller districts.

Strip away vendor educational opportunities for students statewide.

Hear direct testimony from education leaders Mary Cox who warn lawmakers that AB 84 would devastate vulnerable and rural students.

⚖️ AB 1084 – Erasing Parental Rights in Gender Decisions

Greg Burt shares his own testimony against Assembly Bill 1084, a bill that would:

Provide a way for minors to legally change their name and sex without parental consent.

Treat biological sex as irrelevant under California law.

Override parents who disagree with the state’s gender ideology.

Greg challenges legislators: “Are parental rights only valid if parents agree with the state?”

🚨 SB 497 – Sanctuary State for Child Transitions

Greg and Sophia discuss the chilling testimony of Beth Bourne, a mother who stopped her daughter’s gender transition and exposes the dangers of Senator Scott Wiener’s SB 497—a bill that:

Blocks out-of-state investigations into child gender transitions in California.

Shields doctors performing irreversible procedures from accountability.

💻 AB 727 – The Danger of Trevor Space in Schools

They close with insights from Brenda Lebsack’s testimony against AB 727, warning legislators about online grooming risks in Trevor Project’s platform being promoted in California schools.
