The California Department of Education is acting as a groomer in promoting resources to students on its website where they can receive sex change surgeries and medications, according to a GOP candidate for Congress.
“They're groomers,” said Alison Hayden, who is campaigning to represent the 14th Congressional District. “They're part of the agenda to take down the family.”
Hayden was reacting to the CDE’s website list of LGBTQ + services.

“All of this is completely out of their domain, out of their purview of the child's life,” Hayden told the Southern California Record.
For example, The Marin Community Clinic Pediatrics Department administers hormones in conjunction with the University of California, San Francisco’s gender clinic, and MarinHealth provides gender-affirming surgeries. The Marin Community Clinic maintains locations in Greenbrae, Larkspur, Novato, and San Rafael while MarinHealth is located on Bon Air Road in Greenbrae.
“We have to lock arms and in 2022 we have that opportunity,” said Hayden who is a licensed high school teacher and educational therapist with credentials in secondary education, social studies, and business.
Hayden was the top Republican vote-getter in the June 7 Primary, defeating GOP fellows Tom Wong and Steve Iyer. She now faces incumbent Democrat Eric Swalwell in November’s mid-term election.
"My whole intention is to reach mothers against mandates and to reach across the aisle to different community organizations that are about the issues that are bright before us today and that people are so incensed at the government about," she said.
If elected, Hayden plans to create a united front against promoting transgender surgery and medication services to students on the CDE website.
“The first thing getting into office would be to build those alliances with the Marjorie Taylor Green, the Matt Gaetzs, and the Jim Jordans,” she added. “We have to define it at the federal level. Health is part of it. They can throw a lot into that basket called health and that's what they're doing is finding ways to influence the kids through health classes.”
