Instead, in Manalapan-Englishtown and Middletown, the policies say if a student requests a “public social transition accommodation” — such as being newly addressed by a preferred pronoun — parents or guardians are to be told. Otherwise, conversations about a student’s gender identity are confidential.
After the attorney general’s office sued, Hanover’s school board adopted a revised version of its policy that dropped any language about sexual or gender identity.
“It is our position that keeping parents in the dark about important issues involving their children is counterintuitive and contrary to well established Supreme Court case law that says that parents have a constitutional right to direct and control the upbringing of their children,” he said.

Parents take on struggle for trans rights for their kids and others in conservative PolandParents of trans children are mobilizing in Poland seeking acceptance after the country’s leader mocked trans people last year during Pride season. Poland has been ranked as the worst country in the European Union for LGBTQ+ rights. The situation is especially fraught for transgender people, with low levels of acceptance even by many parents and suicides. The road is especially torturous for those seeking to change their gender markers on their documents. They must sue their parents for having assigned them the wrong gender at birth, and the process can take a long time. At Warsaw's Pride parade last weekend, parents offered free hugs to young gay and transgender people whose own parents have rejected them.
