California Judge Blocks School’s Policy Notifying Parents of Gender Transitions

In California, a county judge has issued a ruling forbidding a school district from enacting its policy of requiring teachers and staff to inform parents whenever their child plans on “transitioning” their gender or using different pronouns besides their correct ones.

As reported by Fox News, San Bernardino County Judge Michael Sachs had previously issued his preliminary injunction against the Chino Valley Unified (CVU) school district last year; now, following the passing of a state law that forbids schools statewide from informing parents of such drastic decisions by their students, Judge Sachs has permanently struck down CVU’s policy.

In July, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) signed AB 1955 into law, prohibiting school districts from letting parents know whenever their children want to “transition,” which is a false belief that anyone can simply change their gender at any given time. The law was introduced and signed in response to multiple school districts across the state implementing their own notification policies to push back on transgenderism.

The law has earned support from far-left, pro-LGBTQ advocates and groups, with Tony Hoang, spokesman for the left-wing Equality California, describing it as “critical” legislation that will protect students from their own parents.
