The U.S. Department of Education has initiated an investigation into California's Department of Education regarding Assembly Bill 1955, which restricts the mandatory outing of transgender students to their parents. This law, facing legal challenges, is characterized by anti-trans activists as an infringement on parental rights. However, a recent ruling confirms that parents retain access to educational records, and the law actually safeguards students' ability to disclose their gender identity independently. Similar precedents exist in other states, reinforcing the notion that these protections do not deny parental involvement in their children's education.
On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Education opened an investigation into California's Department of Education over Assembly Bill 1955, a law passed last year that limits the forced outing of transgender students to their parents.
A judge has already ruled that parents still retain access to educational records, including those that reflect pronoun or name changes.
