Description
A local school district's privacy policy for transgender students is put on hold, at least for the time being. That policy, which is supported by the state, orders school staff to keep a transgender or gender non-conforming student's identity private, including to their own parents.
Two teachers in the Escondido Union School District filed a lawsuit in April, saying the policy violated their First Amendment rights. This ongoing litigation, filed in federal court in San Diego, is one of a growing number of cases that places the rights of transgender or gender-non-conforming students against parental rights. One side said this policy protects students from possible abuse at home. The other side said it harms students, and the judge agreed in his order issued Thursday.
