Supreme Court blocks California policy on student gender disclosure, citing parents’ rights
The Supreme Court of the United States temporarily blocked California from enforcing policies that limit public-school teachers from disclosing a student’s transgender status to parents, siding with religious families challenging the rules.
The court’s conservative majority said the parents were likely to succeed in their legal challenge, finding the policies may violate religious rights and infringe on parents’ authority over their children’s upbringing.
Justice Elena Kagan dissented, criticizing the court for acting hastily without full briefing, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other conservatives defended the temporary order as necessary to prevent harm to parents’ rights.
Parental rights groups, including the Thomas More Society and the California Family Council, praised the decision as a major victory for families and religious liberty.
Supporters argue the ruling protects parents’ fundamental right to be informed about and involved in decisions affecting their children’s mental, emotional and physical well-being while the broader legal battle continues.
