US EditionAdvocates React to Supreme Court Gender Identity Ruling
The Supreme Court blocked California’s rule that forced teachers to hide students’ gender identity from parents, citing constitutional rights and concerns from educators and families.
- On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked California from enforcing policies that prohibit public school teachers from notifying parents about students asserting a sexual orientation or gender identity, reinstating a lower federal court injunction for now.
- The court reasoned that California’s secrecy policies on gender identity likely violate parents’ rights by concealing students showing symptoms of gender dysphoria and that parents asserting religious beliefs were excluded from decisions.
- In court filings, plaintiffs argued that educators and parents sued California in Mirabelli v. Bonta, with a federal trial judge blocking enforcement before the Ninth Circuit stayed that injunction.
- The order immediately allows schools and school staff to notify parents if transgender students identify as such without student approval, with the Thomas More Society hailing it as a victory while Kathie Moehlig warned of risks for students in non-affirming homes.
- Legally, the decision positions more than 10 million students in 38 states and the District of Columbia as affected, signaling broader constitutional risks for policies excluding parents.

Advocates react to Supreme Court gender identity ruling
COACHELLA VALLEY, Calif. (KESQ) - The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked part of a California policy that limits when parents are told if a student changes their gender identity at school. In a split decision, five conservative justices sided with parents who argue they have a constitutional right to be informed. The Court’s three liberal justices dissented. The emergency order pauses enforcement of that portion of the policy while the broader legal…
In Loco Parentis: Supreme Court Decision Highlights Growing Problems with Parents in Blue States
In the law, the concept of In loco parentis refers to those who act in the place of parents. The problem is when that authority is taken rather than granted. It is a growing problem in blue states as parents push back on Democratic measures stripping them of notice or consent over their children in public schools. In the last few months, Democrats have been buoyed by protests over immigration enforcement. Many politicians have fueled a wave of r…
