Supreme Court halts California law on parent notification for gender transitions

The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed California schools to inform parents if students wish to change their gender identity without needing approval. This decision follows a challenge to a state law that prohibited automatic parental notifications. The Thomas More Society, representing two sets of Catholic parents, argued that the law misled parents and undermined their rights, while the state defended student privacy, citing potential familial rejection. The ruling reinstates a lower-court order blocking the law as the case proceeds.
