Description
The new Wyoming law, SF0009, mandates parental consent for teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation in schools. It requires districts to share well-being questionnaires and health screening tools with parents/guardians for consent before use and mandates teacher notifications to parents about changes in students' health. Critics argue it could lead to legal issues for educators from unsatisfied parents. The law outlines a complaint resolution process, takes effect on July 1, and encourages proactive familiarization with its provisions. The Murrieta Valley school district is under investigation for a policy requiring staff to inform parents if a student identifies with a gender different from their birth certificate, termed "forced outing." This has drawn comparisons to a previous issue in Chino Valley. State and federal probes were triggered by complaints from district teachers. The California Department of Education demanded the policy's end, threatening funding withdrawal. Attorney General Rob Bonta has sued the district, citing discrimination. There's a call to action supporting parental rights against state interference. The Roxbury School Board voted 6-4 to potentially rescind a policy allowing transgender students to self-identify their gender without parental consent, use preferred restrooms, and participate in activities matching their gender identity. Initiated in 2019 to align with state guidelines, this decision awaits a final vote. Advocates for rescinding argue it restores parental rights. They urge public support for board members favoring the repeal, recommending attendance at the next reading, social media advocacy, and direct expressions of gratitude to these members.
