Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 65 amici in filing an amicus brief in Mirabelli v. Bonta urging the Supreme Court to put a stop to a California school district’s secret social gender transition policy.
In this case, parents and teachers challenged a school district policy that required teachers to deceive parents about their child’s gender transition at school. One of the families who brought this challenge did not find out that their daughter was being treated as a boy at school until after she attempted suicide.
The federal district court in San Diego rightly found for the parents and teachers and permanently enjoined Gavin Newsom’s California from imposing secret social transition policies on teachers and parents. However, the Ninth Circuit temporarily stayed the district court’s injunction leaving families and teachers exposed once again.
AAF’s brief on behalf of itself and other amici argued that this case is part of a nationwide pattern affecting parents and families, often irreversibly. The Supreme Court has, so far, avoided these critical questions. They must do so no longer.
“No parent should have to worry that, without their knowledge and consent, their children are being taught gender ideology at schools,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “This is the second case that we know of in which a young girl attempted suicide after school officials facilitated their gender confusion without their parent’s consent. This is totally unacceptable. The Supreme Court must step in before more children and families are harmed.”
