California's attorney general, Rob Bonta, is investigating whether the Chino Valley Unified School District's policy, which requires teachers to notify parents if their child identifies as transgender or wants to use a different name or pronoun, violates students' civil rights.

"California School Superintendent Faces Verbal Attack and Removal at Board Meeting"

California State Superintendent of Schools, Tony Thurmond, was asked to leave a Chino Valley Unified School District meeting in Southern California after exceeding his allotted speaking time while expressing opposition to a policy requiring administrators to inform parents if their child identifies as transgender. Despite Thurmond's objections, the board ultimately approved the policy, which mandates parental notification for transgender students. Thurmond criticized the policy for violating students' privacy rights. School Board President Sonja Shaw accused Thurmond of being a danger to students and promoting division. State Attorney General Rob Bonta warned that the policy potentially infringes on students' privacy rights and educational opportunities. In a separate incident, Governor Gavin Newsom fined the Temecula Valley Unified School District $1.5 million for rejecting state-endorsed textbooks mentioning gay rights activist Harvey Milk.
