Last week, in a win for educators, parents, and children across the country, a U.S. district court ruled in Mirabelli v. Olson that California's Parental Exclusion Policies are unconstitutional. The case was brought to the Court by two California teachers who, due to these policies, were forced to affirm their students' social gender transitions without parental knowledge or consent. This decision has set an important precedent for protecting the rights of parents in every state, including Wisconsin.

Special Counsel at Thomas More Society, Paul M. Jonna, explained, the "incredible victory finally, and permanently, ends California's dangerous and unconstitutional regime of gender secrecy policies in schools. The Court’s comprehensive ruling—granting summary judgment on all claims—protects all California parents, students, and teachers, and it restores sanity and common sense."
