This is an incredible win for the Constitution, children, and parental rights and a massive blow to the Left and its radical gender ideology.

The Supreme Court just BLOCKED a California law that barred schools from notifying parents if their children identify as transgender.
Gavin Newscum wants schools to groom your kids. The Supreme Court just stopped it.
MASSIVE WIN FOR SANITY.
MASSIVE L FOR GROOMERS.
This doesn't mean Democrats will give up, of course. Rep. Pramila Jayapal announced last month that she's pushing a "Transgender Bill of Rights" to codify this insanity.

The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for California schools to tell parents if their children identify as transgender without getting the student's approval, granting an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group.
The order blocks for now a state law that bans automatic parental notification requirements if students change their pronouns or gender expression at school.
It comes after religious parents and educators challenged California school policies aimed at preventing schools from outing students to their families. Two sets of Catholic parents represented by the Thomas More Society say it caused schools to mislead them and secretly facilitate the children's social transition despite their objections.
California argued that students have the right to privacy about their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families, and school policies are aimed at striking a balance with parents' rights.
The high court, though, sided with the parents and reinstated a lower-court order blocking the law and school policies while the case continues to play out.
This is also a blow to the presidential aspirations of Gavin Newsom, who was just handed another loss in court for supporting unconstitutional legislation.
HUGE victory for parental rights against Gavin Newsom!

The Supreme Court has ruled that parents must be informed of any social transition.
No more name and pronoun changes in secret, which was California’s policy.
Newsom even passed a law banning school districts from… pic.twitter.com/Jq8pw2z9Mz
Newsom's fingerprints were all over that.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just blocked California’s secret gender-transition policy for kids in public schools. The policy required public schools to help students transition to a different gender while hiding the transition from parents. Today’s decision lifted a Ninth Circuit…

Mark Rienzi, president and CEO of Becket, also issued a statement on this ruling, saying, "Parents’ fundamental right to raise their children according to their faith doesn’t stop at the schoolhouse door. California tried cutting parents out of their children’s lives while forcing teachers to hide the school’s behavior from parents. We’re glad the Court stepped in to block this anti-family, anti-American policy. This is a victory for parental rights, religious freedom, and common sense. Once again, the Supreme Court has made clear that parents do not take a backseat to anyone when it comes to raising their kids, especially not government bureaucrats.”
