Parents and teachers who oppose the state policies sued, claiming their parental, free speech and religious rights were violated.
The Supreme Court on Monday barred California from enforcing state rules that restrict when schools can notify parents about students who come out as transgender and requires teachers to use children’s preferred pronouns.
The court, on a 6-3 vote on ideological lines, allowed a federal judge’s ruling in favor of parents who oppose the policy on religious grounds to go into effect. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had put the judge’s decision on hold pending further litigation.
The court’s ruling focused on the parents’ claim that their rights under the free exercise clause of the Constitution’s First Amendment were violated. The court also said they have valid parental rights claims under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Or it can result in the kid having the piss beaten out of them, like for one poor sod in my middle school class when his father found out he was gay do to a snitch of a teacher. Don’t worry though retribution was had.
Kids are inexperienced. And It is the job of the parent to protect them. I don’t know why this comment is so downvoted. It’s pretty rational.
Yeh some parents are arseholes but for the most parents do need awareness so they can have conversations and help their child.
Most 9-11 year olds are getting their world from TicTok. Is that the better alternative to a parent who wants to help?
Not all parents are bad.
