Supreme Court Upholds Parental Rights in School Transitions

0:00This is Cory, and here's what is making news across Birmingham right now. The US Supreme Court issued a percurium decision on Monday blocking a California policy. That policy told teachers not to inform parents if a child socially transitions at school by using a different name or pronouns. Parents sued, arguing and violated their rights to direct their kids upbringing. The court said the parents have a strong chance of winning their case. It ruled the policy interferes too much with parental authority over education and religious upbringing. Primary control rests with parents, not schools or the state. This echoes a recent Supreme Court case called Mahmoud versus Taylor from last year. The ninth circuit court of appeals had ignored that precedent here. But the high court's stress to situation is even more invasive than just classroom materials. Judges found no compelling reason for the state to hide these changes from parents. The usual claim is protecting kids from possible abuse at home. Yet the court noted parents are the main guardians of a child's best interests.
