California Attorney General Rob Bonta is suing to block a local school
district�s policy to inform parents if their child expresses they may be
transgender.

The Chino Valley Unified School District policy, which went into effect
in July, forces employees to notify parents if their children ask to use
a different name or pronoun or seek to use bathrooms and programs that
don�t align with their birth gender while at school.

School staff must alert parents in such cases � even if they don�t have
the student�s permission to make the disclosure.

The AG argues the policy violates anti-discrimination and privacy laws
and threatens students mental well being, according to the suit filed in
San Bernardino Superior Court on Monday � three weeks after classes
started in the district on Aug. 7.

The policy places transgender and non-binary students �in danger of
imminent, irreparable harm form the consequences of forced disclosures,�
as the students will be forced to choose between walking back their
constitutional right to gender identity and expression �or face the risk
of emotional, physical and psychological harm from non-affirming or
unaccepting parents or guardians,� the suit charges.

Bonta also claims the Board of Education in the district enacted the
policy out of animosity toward transgender students, which was made
clear at a July 20 board hearing where members claimed trans students
were suffering from �mental illness� or �perversion� and were a threat
to families and the country as a whole, according to the filing.

The meeting made national headlines when California�s state
superintendent of schools Tony Thurmond was kicked out after he clashed
with Chino Valley school district official Sonja Shaw.

Bonta says he brought the suit to protect students from potential
trauma, bullying, harassment or potential violence.

�Every student has the right to learn and thrive in a school environment
that promotes safety, privacy, and inclusivity � regardless of their
gender identity,� Bonta said in a statement Monday. �We�re in court
challenging Chino Valley Unified�s forced outing policy for wrongfully
and unconstitutionally discriminating against and violating the privacy
rights of LGBTQ+ students.�

Bonta is asking a judge for an emergency ruling blocking the policy and
to ultimately find it unconstitutional.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin filed a series of similar
lawsuits against several school districts in the Garden State over
policies forcing school staff to notify parents if their children change
their gender identity.

Earlier this month, a judge in that case issued a temporary restraining
order blocking the forced disclosure policies from being implemented.

Andi Johnson, a spokesperson with the Chino Valley Unified School
District, had been cooperating with Bonta�s office leading up to the
suit, providing requested documents to the office.

Johnson also said that in cases where the student believes they would be
in danger if their parents were told they were trans, the schools would
wait for approval from authorities before notifying them.

�I can share that the Parent Notification policy does protect
transgender students by requiring staff to notify CPS/law enforcement if
the student believes they are in danger or have been abused, injured, or
neglected due to their parent or guardian knowing of their preferred
gender identity,� Johnson said.

�In these circumstances, CVUSD staff will not notify parents or
guardians, but rather, wait for the appropriate agencies to complete
their investigations regarding the concerns shared by the student.�

When did it become unacceptable to inform parents about the activities
of their minor children? Kids can�t attend a field trip without a
permission slip signed by a parent so I would say this is a lot more
serious info.
