COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

The Supreme Court cleared the way 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. As they should.
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.
The Supreme Court has ruled for religious plaintiffs in other recent cases, including allowing parents to pull their children from public-school lessons if they object to storybooks with LGBTQ+ characters.
The California order comes months after the court upheld state bans on gender identity-related health care for minors. The justices also seem to be leaning toward allowing states to ban transgender athletes from playing on girls' sports teams.
