California parents have been granted a temporary reprieve: last week, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta blocked the enforcement of a California law which prohibits educators from sharing details about children’s gender identity with parents, until the case is concluded.

Prior to the ruling, California Attorney General Rob Bonta defended the state law, claiming that ‘the consequences of compelling the disclosure of confidential information about [students’] gender identity would be irreversible’.
