Trump admin finds California ban on notifying parents of gender transitions violated federal law
How is this acceptable?
The U.S. Department of Education announced on Wednesday that a California policy allowing school districts to keep students' gender transition from their parents violates federal law.
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said a federal investigation found that California education officials "egregiously abused" their authority by pressuring school districts to withhold information about students’ gender transitions from their parents.
"Under Gavin Newsom’s failed leadership, school personnel have even bragged about facilitating ‘gender transitions,’ and shared strategies to target minors and conceal information about children from their own families," she said in a statement.

State education officials told school districts in October that the state's policy "does not mandate nondisclosure."
The findings of the federal investigation could put at risk the nearly $8 billion in education funding the federal government gives the state each year if state officials do not work with the Trump administration to resolve the violations.
To resolve the violations, the federal government said California can take several actions, including issuing a notice to all superintendents and administrators that "gender support plans" or other related documentation directly related to a student are considered education records and are subject to parental inspection upon request and notifying superintendents and administrators that state laws should not be interpreted to undermine or contradict federal law.
School districts would need to affirm that they are complying with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law that gives parents the right to inspect their children’s records, while the state must add content approved by the federal government to its LGBTQ+ …
