A Northern California school district approved a policy change on Wednesday, which requires schools to notify parents if their child asks to be identified as a gender other their biological sex – on the same day a judge halted a Southern California school district from outing children over the same policy as a response to a lawsuit by the state Attorney General.
The Rocklin school district in Northern California has approved a policy change that requires schools to notify parents if their child asks to be identified as a gender other than their biological sex.
The Rocklin Unified school board met for more than six hours and hundreds of people, on both sides of the issue, showed up. Rocklin is about 20 miles north of Sacramento. Critics of the policy say it could be harmful to minors who are not ready or don't feel comfortable telling their families about their gender identity.
Rocklin elementary parent Price Johnson said: "Really, the bigger concern is this is putting the onus on the wrong people. It's putting it on the child to self report identities that they're still shaping for themselves and it's putting a liability on teachers who now have a three-day requirement to out their students."
Boomer Bennett, another Rocklin parent, said that he "wholeheartedly agree with these changes from a parent perspective."Under the new policy, parents are to be notified within three days when their child asks to be identified as a different gender. Meanwhile, also on Wednesday, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Thomas S. Garza told the Chino Valley Unified School District they could not move forward on adopting a policy requiring schools to tell parents when their children change their pronouns or use a bathroom of a gender other than the one listed on their official paperwork.In an interview Wednesday, Bonta said: "If they want to do what is appropriate to protect their kids, then they should stpo breaking the law.
