A win in CA!

Federal judge strikes down 'gender secrecy' policies in California public schools

A federal judge on Monday struck down California school policies that prevent schools from revealing a student's gender identity to their parents.

The class-action suit, filed by California teachers and parents, sought to overturn policies that barred K-12 educators from informing parents when students used names or pronouns different from those assigned at birth.

San Diego U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled in favor of two Escondido Union School District teachers, Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, who argued that their school district's policies "flatly prohibit teachers from respecting parents’ wishes."

The renewal for the blog came through; Santa JCM and elf VXBush got the money in place and this elf renewed it,

Merry Christmas for those who observe it.

I will probably spend the night listening to Lovecraftian parodies of various Christmas songs, plus, of course, Deck Us All With Boston Charlie.
