California Sues School District Over Anti-Trans Policy
A California school district is facing a lawsuit from the state over a new proposal that would out transgender students to their parents.
This summer, the Chino Valley Unified School District enacted a new policy to make teachers and faculty tell parents if their child requests to use new pronouns, a new name or different gender facilities.
Chino Valley is just one school district in California to enact these types of policies, despite California Attorney General Rob Bonta saying they likely run afoul of the state’s constitution, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Anderson Unified High School District has a similar policy, according to the Associated Press, but has not been sued. “They have taken great pains to go out of their way, despite our warnings of the illegality of this action beforehand, to trample the rights of students, to trample the rights of children,” Bonta told the Times. “They are fueled by animus.” READ MORE: Gaetz Pushing for Public School Prayer Instead of ‘Pansexual Poetry Hour in Portland’ Bonta filed suit Monday in the San Bernardino Superior Court to block the policy.
