An appellate court ruled on Thursday that California cannot enforce its law banning schools from forcibly outing students to their families while a lawsuit against the legislation continues.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals had already ruled in favor of a temporary block on the bill, a decision that the United States Supreme Court later upheld. SCOTUS then sent the case back to the 9th Circuit.

The Circuit Court's decision mirrored much of the language from the SCOTUS decision and posited that parents "have an affirmative constitutional right" to know everything about their children's gender expression at school, the LA Times reported.

The legislation in question, Assembly Bill 1955 (also known as the SAFETY Act), strengthened existing California law prohibiting school districts from enacting any policy requiring staff to disclose information about a student's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to anyone without the student's consent.

"The agency launched today's investigation to vigorously protect parents' rights and ensure that students do not fall victim to a radical transgender ideology that often leads to family alienation and irreversible medical interventions," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in her statement at the time.

Mary Ziegler, a parental rights laws expert and a professor at the UC Davis School of Law, told the LA Times that the temporary block is "arguably significantly more extensive than the Supreme Court has spelled out."

You can always spot a cultist by the language that they use. Clearly, this idiot has no clue.

"The agency launched today's investigation to vigorously protect parents' rights and ensure that students do not fall victim to a radical transgender ideology that often leads to family alienation and irreversible medical interventions," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in her statement at the time.

She managed to get all the MAGA talking points into that short statement. No mention of the children's rights.
