The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily lifted Californias ban on teachers notifying parents about students dealing with gender dysphoria or socially transitioning at school, focusing on protecting parents rights to due process and religious freedom.

Parents and teachers in the Escondido school district had sued, claiming the policy violated their religious beliefs and harmed family relationships. LGBTQ+ advocates and California Governor Gavin Newsoms office criticized the move, arguing it risks student privacy and could lead to discrimination or unsafe homes. Liberal justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, while conservatives like Amy Coney Barrett defended the ruling. The case will now head back to lower courts.
