California School District Helps Students Hide Gender Identity From Parents
15th July 2024
A Southern California school district trains counselors to help students hide their transgender identity from their concerned parents, according to documents obtained by The Daily Signal.
Capistrano Unified School District in southern Orange County, California, allows students to change their name and gender in school records without parental permission.
The Individual Transition Plan, obtained by the nonprofit law firm Center for American Liberty through a California Public Records Act request, asks the counselor filling it out whether the child’s parents “need to know” about their child’s transition. It later asks the student to respond with “yes” or “no” to the statement: “My parents/guardians are aware of my transition.”
