In California, a bitter debate has found its nexus within the partisan politics of a presidential election cycle, and the results could help define the election's outcome.
His group's push came after school districts in the state passed mandatory reporting policies. Hoang calls them"forced outing" policies. "It also violates their First Amendment right to free exercise," said Emily Rae, senior counsel for Liberty Justice Center."You know, these parents believe that God created man and woman as immutable genders and that if their child is allowed to socially transition outside of their view and without their knowledge, that violates their religion."
He told Scripps News the fight boils down to whether parents should be aware if their child is suffering from a mental health disorder, which is how Davison regards a change in gender expression. Major medical associations say the science doesn't support that view. But the California bill has nothing to do with puberty blockers, as it concerns whether school staff should be required to tell parents if their child is using different pronouns at school or asking to go by a different name.
