California school district transitioned child without telling parent, lawsuit alleges
A conservative legal group has filed a lawsuit against the superintendent and school board members for the Chico Unified School District, alleging that a district employee helped a fifth grade student transition their gender identity without informing the child’s parent.
According to the non-profit Center for American Liberty, it involves Aurora Regino’s daughter who is a fifth-grader attending an elementary school within the district. They were reportedly told by a guidance counselor that it was okay to transition from a girl to a boy.
The lawsuit contends that the Chico Unified School District maintains a “Parental Secrecy Policy” that keeps school employees from sharing a child’s gender identity or sexual orientation with parents.
“Our rights as parents do not stop as soon as we drop our children off at school,” the child’s mother said.
