Parents, beware: California school district's gender identity parental notification policy halted as state wages legal challenge



A temporary restraining order has been issued against the Chino Valley Unified School District's commonsense policy requiring schools to notify parents if a student seeks to identify as a member of the opposite sex.

"San Bernardino Superior Court’s decision to issue a temporary restraining order rightfully upholds the state rights of our LGBTQ+ student community and protects kids from harm by immediately halting the board's forced outing policy," California state Attorney General Rob Bonta said, according to a press release.

Bonta had announced a legal challenge against the school district's policy last week.

"While this fight is far from over, today's ruling takes a significant step towards ensuring the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of transgender and gender-nonconforming students. As we continue challenging the policy in court, my office will continue providing our unwavering support to ensure every student has the right to learn and thrive in a school environment that promotes safety, privacy, and inclusivity," Bonta continued.

The gender identity notification policy, which Bonta has described as "dangerous," requires schools to inform parents within three days of learning that a student has asked "to be identified or treated, as a gender ... other than the student's biological sex or gender listed on the student's birth certificate or any other official records. This includes any request by the student to use a name that differs from their legal name (other than a commonly recognized diminutive of the child's legal name) or to use pronouns that do not align with the student’s biological sex or gender listed on the student’s birth certificate or other official records," the policy states.

Similarly, the policy stipulates that schools must notify parents after learning that a child is participating in sex-segregated activities or using restrooms that do not match "the student's biological sex or gender listed on the birth certificate or other official records."

Corey Jackson, a Democratic member of the California State Assembly, has characterized the policy as a Christian nationalist power grab.

"This has nothing to do with parent rights, but everything to do with a Christian nationalists movement who is trying to gain political power by attacking minority groups," Jackson wrote last week.

California state lawmaker claims school district's gender-identity parental notification policy is a Christian nationalist power grab



California state lawmaker Corey Jackson, a Democrat, has claimed that a school district's policy that requires parental notification when a student seeks to be recognized as a member of the opposite sex is a Christian nationalist power grab.

The Golden State has launched a legal challenge against Chino Valley Unified School District's commonsense policy, and Jackson is cheering on the move.

"I want to thank @AGRobBonta for leading on this issue," Jackson wrote, referring to California Attorney General Rob Bonta. "We must protect our most vulnerable LGBTQ children. This has nothing to do with parent rights, but everything to do with a Christian nationalists movement who is trying to gain political power by attacking minority groups."

The policy requires schools to notify parents within three days of learning that a student has asked "to be identified or treated, as a gender ... other than the student's biological sex or gender listed on the student's birth certificate or any other official records. This includes any request by the student to use a name that differs from their legal name (other than a commonly recognized diminutive of the child's legal name) or to use pronouns that do not align with the student's biological sex or gender listed on the student's birth certificate or other official records."

Parental notification is likewise required if the school learns that a student is using restrooms or participating in athletic activities that do not match the student's sex.

Bonta has described the policy as "destructive," "discriminatory," and "dangerous."

Illinois state Senate votes to repeal law requiring parental notification when a pregnant minor seeks an abortion



The Illinois state Senate voted Tuesday in favor of repealing a law requiring that the parents or guardians of a pregnant minor are alerted when a minor seeks an abortion.

Lawmakers voted of 32-22 on the repeal proposal, according to the Chicago Tribune, which reported that four Democrats voted with Republicans against the move, while five Democrats did not even vote.

The move to ditch the parental notice requirement is supported by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), according to the outlet, which also reported that the matter now heads to the state's House.

"Pro-notice advocates note that the 48-hour alert to a parent or guardian the law requires involves only notification, not consent," the Associated Press noted.

"Parental consent is not required under current law, and minors can ask a court to waive the notification requirement if they fear for their safety," according to the Tribune.

The topic of abortion and the issues surrounding parental rights both remain areas of significant, contentious debate in the U.S.

"It's the most basic human relationship that we know and it is a precious bond for a lifetime, most critical during a young girl's, a minor's, formative years...." Republican state Sen. Jil Tracy said, the AP reported. "We have enough problems in the state without creating more wedges between children and their parents."

"One of the most detrimental laws that are currently on our books impacting young women is parental notification of abortion," Democratic state Sen. Elgie Sims said, according to the outlet.
