The U.S. Supreme Court reinstated an injunction blocking California policies that restrict disclosure to parents about students’ gender transitions, ruling that such state rules likely violate parental constitutional rights in Mirabelli v. Bonta. The emergency 6–3 decision favored parents’ religious‑liberty and upbringing claims. > Education lawyers and K‑12 administrators said the ruling will force district policy reviews and may cascade into litigation nationwide. Colleges and university schools of education should prepare to advise partner districts on revised disclosure protocols and privacy tradeoffs; legal uncertainty is likely to generate immediate guidance requests and training needs.
