In an undated stock photo, students are seen raising their hands in a classroom.on what Attorney General Rob Bonta calls Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education's "forced outing policy." The policy would require schools to inform parents if a student requests to use a name or pronoun different from the gender listed on their official records.
"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," said Bonta in a statement. The policy also requires parental notification if a student asks to use facilities or enter programs that don't align with their sex as it is on official records.
The spokesperson said staff are required to notify child protective services or law enforcement if the student or staff member "believes the student is in danger or has been abused, injured or neglected due to their parent or guardian knowing of their preferred gender identity." In that same meeting, the board president, Sonja Shaw, also stated that transgender and gender nonbinary individuals needed "non-affirming" parents to "get better."LGBTQ advocates say that forcibly "outing" transgender students could be dangerous for some students, who may not feel safe or supported at home or elsewhere.
