California School District Sues Gov. Newsom Over Gender Identity Notification Law

Southern California school districts, including Chino Valley Unified, are suing Governor Gavin Newsom over a new law prohibiting schools from informing parents about their child's gender identity changes. The districts argue that the law violates parental rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Newsom's office defends the law, stating it preserves the child-parent relationship and complies with existing regulations. This legal battle reflects broader debates over parental rights, child privacy, and LGBTQ+ student protection in schools, with contrasting viewpoints from advocacy groups and conservative factions.
