California is suing to stop schools from outing trans kids to their parents
Attorney General Rob Bonta said the policy ‘wrongfully endangers’ non-conforming students.
State Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday to stop a Southern California school district from outing transgender students to their parents, arguing that the policy violates students’ civil and constitutional rights and could cause them “mental emotional, psychological, and potential physical harm.”
Bonta’s suit against the Chino Valley Unified School District is the latest attempt by Democratic state officials to combat the recent adoption of such policies by conservative school boards. The outcome of the case could have bearing on other districts that have enacted similar rules in the last two months, including Murrieta Valley, Temecula and Anderson Union High School.
...
The policy passed last month by the Chino Valley Unified School Board requires schools to inform parents whenever a student asks to use a different name or pronoun than what’s in their official record, or if a student requests to use facilities or participate in programs that don’t align with their assigned sex. A similar statewide proposal, introduced by Republican Assemblymember Bill Essayli, stalled and has almost no chance of becoming law in the Democratic supermajority Legislature.

Going after the REAL problems we face in that state!
Imagine if they spent 1/2 as much effort on the literal dozens of people this impacts versus problems that impact all 40,000,000 residents of CA. They might actually have found a solution to their awful tent city problem or unsustainable real estate prices or high taxes by now. Priorities!1!!
Oh no, it's impossible to do more than one thing at a time!
So why haven't they???
If they can do more than one thing, so what has stopped them in the past?
You help the many, not the fringe minority first.
Lots of these issues stem from NIMBY cities and towns that block shelters and higher density housing from being built. There are lawsuits from the State vs. individual cities to try and counter this. Add in abuse of Historical Districts by these same cities, and you realize that the state government isn’t some all powerful government entity that can easily force change.
Look at all the drama and fighting back against SB-9.
You just stated that they are not an all powerful government entity that can force change.... But you want them to be an all powerful government entity that can override the school districts mentioned in this article. How is that not hypocrisy?
Well when it comes to human rights, yes, absolutely they should force certain standards. This isn’t the state forcing schools to pick a school color.
Bad faith arguments from the right absolutely.
this is a legitimate problem, you stupid cunt.
The problems of 10 or 20 people do not supersede the problems that affect 10,000,000 you selfish fuck.
We shouldn't abandon trans people just because you consider them expendable.
How dare you put the needs of a handful of people over the needs of literally tens of millions of people.
How dare you act like the two are mutually exclusive just because you consider trans people to be expendable?
Riiight, and yet the fact that they have never been solved at the same time before proves that it can't be done.
As long as trans people are oppressed, you're happy.
What a ridiculous argument.
The state isn't spending resources, they are telling school districts to stop spending resources abusing kids.
