California judge halts district policy requiring parents be told if kids change pronouns

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday halted a Southern California school district from requiring parents to be notified if their children change their gender identification or pronouns at school.

San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Thomas S. Garza ruled after California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the Chino Valley Unified School District for adopting a policy requiring schools to tell parents when their children change their pronouns or use a bathroom of a gender other than the one listed on their official paperwork.

“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.

Garza’s order halts the district’s policy while Bonta’s lawsuit continues. During a court hearing Wednesday, Garza raised questions about why the policy came up in the first place and how it protected students.

Chino was yet another school board taken over by stealth Talibornagain candidates determining to Ram through a Christian Nationalist agenda. Their rules were bad enough that the state superintendent had to show up to criticize them at a public meeting – they cut him off when he tried, and then led a protest in Sacramento where they labeled him an ally of Satan.

The frightening thing is that there are school board elections coming up all over the country in a couple of months, and it’s often practically impossible to tell which candidates are secretly doing the bidding of the nearest fundie megachurch, since they’re careful to couch their agenda in anodyne terms about academic excellence and the like. Personally, I’m suspicious of any candidate who has an unusually early appearance of a large number of professionally designed campaign signs, but that’s no guarantee.
