- The lawsuit challenges a rule requiring schools to notify parents within three days about changed gender identities or pronouns.
- Bonta argues the measure could forcibly out transgender students and violate California’s constitutional equal-protection requirement.
- Board president Sonja Shaw and supporters say parents have a right to know decisions their children make at school.
- Temecula Valley and Murrieta Valley adopted similar rules, while Orange Unified is still debating one.
For far too many transgender children and gender nonconforming youth, school serves as their only safe haven – a place away from home where they can find validation, safety, privacy. We have to protect that,— California Attorney General Rob Bonta said at a press conference in Los Angeles.
