California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Wednesday that the state secured a temporary restraining order in San Bernardino Superior Court against the Chino Valley Unified School District to stop its new policy requiring schools to inform parents about a student’s gender transition.
The case will be taken up again at a hearing scheduled for Oct. 13.
Late last month, Bonta filed a civil rights lawsuit after district officials created a policy in July that required faculty to inform parents within three days if their child uses names and pronouns different from their birth certificate, or if the student requests to join sports teams or use school facilities opposite of their gender.
Bonta claimed that the district’s “forced outing policy” discriminates against the privacy rights of LGBTQ+ students and goes against the state constitution.
Parents' rights groups have staged demonstrations to condemn bills that promote so-called "gender-affirming" care but prohibit informing parents.
Things came to a head in August when parental rights advocates and far-left LGBT activists faced off over the policies of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), after the LAUSD Board of Education unanimously greenlit a resolution in June that advocates for schools in the district to feature lessons on the LGBTQ+ community in the curriculum, which many claim has served to indoctrinate children on an LGBT agenda.
In response to the ruling, President of the Chino Valley Unified Board of Education Sonja Shaw told KTLA, “We’re going to safeguard parental rights. That is a constitutional right and we’re going to make sure that our parents at Chino Valley know they’re sending their kids here to be taught, not to be anything else.”
Shaw told Fox News when Bonta filed the lawsuit last month that the AG is “…automatically trying to assume parents are dangerous, and I think that’s a dangerous, dangerous direction that they’re heading in. And you see it all over California. They’re trying to push out parents, and I think that is something that we need to stand up for right now.”
