California parental rights legal dispute

Overview

A legal dispute in California, Mirabelli v. Bonta, centers on parental rights regarding school gender policies. The case challenges California’s “Parental Exclusion Policies,” which allow schools to socially transition students’ gender without informing their parents.

While a U.S. District Judge previously issued a permanent injunction against these policies, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed that injunction. However, the U.S. Supreme Court later vacated the stay in a 6-3 decision. In response, a coalition of 17 states, lawmakers, and advocacy organizations filed 12 friend-of-the-court briefs urging the 9th Circuit to uphold the rights of parents and teachers to be informed about students. California continues to appeal, maintaining that parents lack a right to know about a child’s gender identity unless they specifically request the information.
