Conservative Californians ask SCOTUS to allow forced outing of transgender students

A conservative legal group, representing parents and teachers in California, has filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to allow school officials to inform parents and guardians about a student's transgender identity, including chosen name and pronouns, even without the student's consent.

In 2016, the California Department of Education issued legal guidance advising school districts to "accept and respect a student's assertion of their gender identity where the student expresses that identity at school," to consult with the student about who can be informed of that identity, and to respect the limits the student places on disclosure except in "very rare" situations. In 2024, California became the first state to pass this guidance into law. Some other states have passed laws mandating or promoting forced outing of trans or all LGBTQ+ students.

In 2023, four teachers in the Escondido Union School District filed a federal lawsuit against the state policy, alleging it violated their rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.

"As Christians, they believe that God created their precious students as male and female — immutably and without mistake. But under EUSD's Parental Exclusion Policies, they were forced to perpetuate a deeply immoral scheme of deception against parents with children who suffer from gender dysphoria."

The words conservative legal group almost always masks the fact that the group in question is actually a religiously motivated hate group.
