A San Bernardino County superior court judge has blocked a controversial Chino Valley Unified School District policy that opponents said was forcing teachers to out transgender students to their parents.

Judge Michael Sachs granted a preliminary injunction against the district in a downtown San Bernardino courtroom Thursday afternoon. He said most of the policy appears to be unconstitutional, because it specifically targets the transgender community."Before voting to enact the policy, board members described students who are transgender or gender non-conforming as suffering from a mental illness," Sachs said during the hearing.

"Parents are the legal guardians of the children, not the government," Rae said. "Schools cannot keep secrets from parents about important health related information concerning their children." The Chino Valley Unified School District's Board of Education approved Policy 5020.1 by a 4-1 vote during a heated public meeting on July 20.
