California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued
"Today’s decision by the San Bernardino Superior Court rightfully upholds the state rights of our LGBTQ+ students and protects kids from harm by immediately halting the board’s forced outing policy," Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. Bonta said his office will continue to challenge the policy in court. The next court hearing on the issue was scheduled for Oct. 13.The district, which serves 27,000 students about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, is one of several that requires parents to be informed if their children are transgender. Two nearby districts have done the same, while at least two others in the state are bringing up similar measures this week.
The national conversation over transgender rights has intensified as other states have sought to impose bans on gender-affirming care, bar transgender athletes from girls and women’s sports, and require schools to "out" transgender and nonbinary students to their parents.
