Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 41 other amici in filing an amicus brief in Chino Valley Unified School District v. Newsom, in which a school district and parents are both challenging a California law that would prohibit schools from informing parents if their child were socially transitioning at school.
Numerous cases from around the country related to parental rights in the context of their children’s gender identity have worked their way through the courts but this one is different. Rather than parents fighting an activist school district, here the Chino Valley Unified School District wants to protect the rights of parents but is prohibited from doing so by state law. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals must rule for the parents in this case and ensure that schools can and do provide parents with important information about their children.
“AAF has filed numerous amicus briefs supporting parents in their efforts to protect their children from radical gender ideologues, but this one is different,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “We applaud the Chino Valley Unified School District for its efforts to protect parental rights, and we urge the Ninth Circuit to do the same and strike down California’s anti-parent law.”
