The San Diego judge argues the policy infringes on parents' rights and harms students; advocates argue such policies protect students from potential discrimination and abuse at home
A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked the Escondido Union School District from enforcing a policy designed to ensure transgender students’ privacy, the latest development in an escalating statewide conflict that is pitting people advocating for LGBTQ student rights against people advocating for parental rights.
But U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez argued that the district’s policy “is as foreign to federal constitutional and statutory law as it is medically unwise.”“The school’s policy is a trifecta of harm: it harms the child who needs parental guidance and possibly mental health intervention to determine if the incongruence is organic or whether it is the result of bullying, peer pressure, or a fleeting impulse,” Benitez wrote in.
“The forced outing policy wrongfully endangers the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of non-conforming students who lack an accepting environment in the classroom and at home,” Bonta said in a prior statement. Escondido Union School District serves about 14,300 students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade.
