Supreme Court: California parents may be told about their transgender child at school

"The parents object that these policies prevent schools from telling them about their children's efforts to engage in gender transitioning at school unless the children consent to parental notification. The parents also take issue with California's requirement that schools use children's preferred names and pronouns regardless of their parents' wishes."

"Parents' fundamental right to raise their children according to their faith doesn't stop at the schoolhouse door. California tried cutting parents out of their children's lives while forcing teachers to hide the school's behavior from parents. We're glad the Court stepped in to block this anti-family, anti-American policy."

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision revived a San Diego judge's order requiring schools to inform parents about their children's gender identity matters. The ruling addressed California's student privacy policies that prevented schools from notifying parents about gender transitioning efforts unless children consented, and required schools to use students' preferred names and pronouns regardless of parental wishes. Religious liberty advocates supported the decision, arguing parents' fundamental rights to raise children according to their faith extend into schools. The injunction applies specifically to parents objecting to these policies or seeking religious exemptions. The 9th Circuit had previously blocked a lower court ruling declaring California's policies unconstitutional.
