Courts surprisingly unfriendly to California school districts that hide gender transitions | Just The News

Of all the states in which school districts might fear legal trouble for keeping parents in the dark about their children’s decision to identify as the opposite sex, solidly blue California seemed an unlikely candidate.

Yet federal courts in the Golden State are the setting for two of the biggest developments in the heated fight nationwide over student privacy versus parental involvement.

U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday that prevents 16,000-student Escondido Union School District from forcing two teachers into “non-disclosure regarding a student s newly expressed gender identification” when communicating with parents, or taking “any adverse employment actions” against them. It also applies to state defendants.

A federal judge does a good thing, probably because our laws require it. Time to google this Hon. Roger Benitez.

Ah, a George W. Bush appointee, now senior status and a protector of the 2nd Amendment as well. Well, good on ‘im, I say. Wikipedia doesn’t like him too much, so he can’t be all bad. Not a “people person” it says. A lot of judges aren’t.
