California school district accused of secretly counseling child to transition gender faces parents' wrath

A California school district being sued for allegedly transitioning a child's gender in secret without her mother's knowledge is now facing the wrath of local parents.
Under the policy, which is based on guidance from the California Department of Education, the district's 23 schools only inform parents of their child pursuing or considering a gender transition with the student's prior written consent, except for extraordinary situations. Proponents argue the policy is meant to protect students' privacy. Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Last month, local mother Aurora Regino filed a lawsuit against the district — specifically Superintendent Kelly Staley and the Board of Education's five members — alleging her daughter's school was helping the young student transition her gender in secret without parental consent during the 2021-2022 school year.
"They were talking to my daughter about different support groups in town to help her with her transition and then discussed breast binding with my daughter that I had no knowledge of," Regino told Fox News' Claudia Cowan on "America's Newsroom" last week. "I just want them to stop — stop keeping parents in the dark."
