"directly lying to the parent, preventing the parent from accessing educational records of the child, or using a different set of preferred pronouns/names when speaking with the parents than is being used at school"
"create chaos and confusion among students, parents, teachers, and staff at California's public schools"
"Teachers can still talk to their parents,"
"What they can't do is fire a teacher for not being a snitch. I don't think teachers should be gender police."
US district judge Roger Benitez ruled on 22 December that federal law allows school employees to notify parents of "gender incongruence." The decision places the choice to inform parents about a child's gender identity with individual teachers. The order bars school districts from "misleading" parents and prohibits employees from "directly lying to the parent, preventing the parent from accessing educational records of the child, or using a different set of preferred pronouns/names when speaking with the parents than is being used at school." California appealed the ruling the same day and an appeals court sought a stay. State officials warned the ruling would conflict with longstanding state laws that protect transgender and gender nonconforming students and noted existing state law bans mandatory parental notification and protects teachers from dismissal for refusing to disclose students' sexualities.
