California Bans Schools from Informing Parents of Students' Gender Identity

The Chino Valley Unified school district in Southern California is suing Governor Gavin Newsom over a new law that bans schools from requiring parental notification of a child's gender identity change. The district argues the law violates parental rights, while Newsom's administration defends it as preserving the child-parent relationship and protecting LGBTQ+ students. The law, which takes effect in January, has sparked significant debate and legal challenges, reflecting broader national disputes over parental rights and student privacy.
