A California school district voted Thursday to require that school officials notify parents if their child wants to change their gender.
The Chino Valley Unified School District (CVSUD) voted 4-1 to approve a policy that requires school employees to inform parents within three days if their child wants to identify as a gender that is different from their biological sex, or asks to be referred to as a different name than their legal name. Dozens of parents spoke in favor of and against the policy, with some saying that they wanted their children to be protected and others saying it would harm transgender children.
