A California judge blocked a school district from being able to inform parents if their child claims transgender identity.

The Thursday decision against Chino Valley Unified School District came at the request of the state government, which is seeking to block several similar policies in other school districts.

The Chino Valley policy, which would require school officials to notify parents if students decided they wanted to transition their gender, prompted California Attorney General Rob Bonta to sue the school district in August.

San Bernardino Superior Court Judge Michael Sachs decided Thursday that the provisions of the policy that informs parents violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution because they are discriminatory based on sex.

Sachs did not, however, block a provision that requires parental notification for children seeking to change their official school records in accordance with their claimed gender identity.

The decision means children who seek to change their gender in school will be able to do so without parents knowing about it. The secrecy would remain unless students want to change their gender on their school records, which is not required for a social transition.

Bonta and transgender activists say the policy would “forcibly out” students to their parents. “The forced outing policy wrongfully endangers the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of non-conforming students who lack an accepting environment in the classroom and at home,” Bonta said when filing the lawsuit.

Supporters of the policy are pushing back, with Nicole Vicario, one of six parents involved with the case, saying, “We love our children and we want to guide them and support them as best we can,” according to CBS Los Angeles.

“We are going to keep pushing on the state because they don't have the right to raise our children,” she continued.

"The injunction the state is seeking here would impair our clients' rights — our clients' constitutional rights to direct their students' healthcare decisions," the parents’ lawyer Jesse Franklin said. "And what the state is asking for is an injunction that would limit that right by allowing social transitioning to occur at school by school employees with no notice to the parent."

At the time of the lawsuit, Chino Valley school board president Sonja Shaw said, “Once again, this is government overreach and the political cartel of Bonta, [Gov. Gavin] Newsom, and [state Superintendent Tony] Thurmond is using their muscle and taxpayer dollars to shut parents out of their children’s lives.”

The parties in the case are expected to reappear in court on Feb. 26 next year.
