The State of California has opened a civil rights investigation into a local school district that adopted a policy requiring schools to notify parents if children want to change their gender.
The Chino Valley Unified School District in Riverside County enacted the policy by a 4-1 vote last month, over the opposition of members of Gavin Newsom’s state government.
Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the investigation last Friday, claiming the policy infringes “on students’ civil and privacy rights and educational opportunities” and that it can lead to “trauma, harassment, bullying, and violence and threats of violence.”
From Breitbart:
However, as school board president Sonja Shaw told Breitbart News in an interview last month, there is no law that allows the state to prevent a school district from adopting a parental notification policy — a step that she described as common sense. Newsom and his array of state officials are attempting to pressure local school boards to fall in line with the state’s curriculum on LGBTQ+ issues. However, a recent poll showed that 84% of California voters support parental notification policies in schools.
