Supreme Court allows California schools to notify parents of transgender students' identities
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for California schools to notify religious parents when a child identifies as transgender without obtaining the student's consent. The decision allows schools to share such information with parents, contradicting a previous lower court ruling.
The Supreme Court has blocked a California policy requiring schools to inform religious parents about students' identities as transgender without the student's consent, paving the way for the state to enforce its current rules. The court's decision allows California to tell parents that their children identify as transgender, giving them an opportunity to object. However, the ruling did not address whether parents must be informed if they do not wish to hear about their child's gender identity. The policy was put in place by California Governor Gavin Newsom.
