"Attorney General Bonta Takes Legal Action Against Chino Valley Unified School District's Forced Outing Policy"

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit challenging the Chino Valley Unified School District's mandatory gender identity disclosure policy, which requires schools to inform parents whenever a student requests to use a name or pronoun different from their birth certificate or official records. The lawsuit argues that the policy violates the California Constitution and state laws safeguarding civil rights, and has caused harm to LGBTQ+ students. Attorney General Bonta asserts that the policy discriminates against transgender and gender nonbinary students and exposes them to harassment and abuse. The lawsuit also alleges that the Board's motivations in adopting the policy were discriminatory.
