The Supreme Court has blocked California from enforcing rules that limit when schools can tell parents if a student identifies as transgender. In a 6-3 ruling, the justices said parents seeking religious exemptions are likely to win their case, letting a lower court's decision stand. The state's policy requires teachers to use a student's preferred pronouns and, in some cases, keep a child's gender identity confidential. The court's liberal justices dissented, criticizing the majority for acting without full arguments and relying on the "shadow docket." California officials say the rules are meant to balance parental rights with student privacy as the legal fight moves forward.
