A federal appeals court has put a California law on hold that prohibited public school employees from notifying parents when their child was presenting as the opposite sex while at school.
A three-judge panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction against the law, pausing its enforcement while a legal challenge works its way through the courts. The city of Huntington Beach brought the lawsuit and had asked the court to block the law in the meantime.
In issuing the injunction, the judges stated that in their view, the California ban “likely deprive the parents of their constitutional rights.”
