The Supreme Court blocked on Monday a California policy that prohibited school personnel from notifying parents when students requested changes to their documented gender identity at school, without the students’ permission.
Parents and teachers had asked the high court to rule on the case, Mirabelli v. Bonta, after a federal appeals court had reinstated the state policy.
“Plaintiffs alleged that California’s policies permitted disclosure of a student’s gender transitioning at school only if the student consented. Plaintiffs claimed that these policies violated their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” stated the ruling.
“We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim.”Parents and teachers requested that the Supreme Court block the California policy as litigation unfolded. The justices only granted relief to the parents.
The high court cited a previous landmark ruling it issued in 2025, called Mahmoud v. Taylor. In this 6-3 decision, the justices said parents have a constitutional right to control the religious upbringing of their children.
Maryland parents had sued their school district after being denied the right to excuse their K-5 children from being exposed to LGBTQ material at school.
Two parent plaintiffs in the Mirabelli v. Bonta case, who have religious objections to gender transitioning, were not told by their daughter’s school when she began using a male name and pronouns in the seventh grade. School officials did not tell them during parent-teacher meetings either, according to the ruling.
The parents only learned about school officials encouraging their daughter’s transition when she began her eighth-grade year. She attempted suicide and was hospitalized.
A doctor diagnosed her with gender dysphoria.
