SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday halted a Southern California school district from requiring parents to be notified if their children change their gender identification or pronouns at school.
Bonta argues the policy will forcibly out transgender students in violation of their privacy rights and threaten their well-being.
Chino Valley contends the policy seeks to involve parents so they can provide support their children need.
He also questioned whether elementary school students as young as 4 and 5 years old should be treated the same as high school teens involved in confidential counseling.
He then worked with school board members and the California Family Council to draft the policy that was voted on in Chino Valley.
