California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday against the Chino school district, ordering an end to a policy that requires notifying parents if their children change their gender identity, alleging it is discriminatory and violates civil rights and privacy laws.

The “parental notification” policy, which has been proposed by a handful of conservative-leaning districts in California, puts transgender and gender-nonconforming students in “danger of imminent, irreparable harm” by potentially forcibly “outing” them at home before they’re ready, according to the lawsuit.

    In no way does telling the families about their children’s choices force everyone to live the same way.

    It forces students with abusive bigot parents to hide who they are in all cases, not just at home.

      they don’t like to think of children as people, just things to be controlled. so in their minds, not allowing schools to rat on the kids is taking control away from the parents

          It only does that if their family is bigots. So it’s not enforcing a single way to live. It’s enforcing whatever the family’s way to live. It’s a dishonest argument to say that it forces everyone to live the same way and that makes the side of tolerance look stupid or dishonest.

            And at the moment, that’s enough for you.

            So it’s not enforcing a single way to live.

            It’s enforcing it on the children you consider expendable.

            It’s enforcing whatever the family’s way to live.

            It’s enforcing bigotry, which is why you support it.

            It’s a dishonest argument to say that it forces everyone to live the same way

            It forces all teachers to participate in potentially abusive situations, which is why you support it.

            Not applying to literally everybody doesn’t make something “dishonest”.
