A federal judge orders California to pay over $4.5 million in legal fees to parents and teachers challenging school policies on student gender transitions. The ruling, issued by Judge Roger Benitez, comes after a summary judgment and statewide injunction victory last year. The case, which started in April 2023, targeted rules allowing schools to change students social gender without parental involvement. Benitez criticized state tactics and awarded the plaintiffs most of their requested fees, boosted by a multiplier for the cases impact. The ruling comes as the core battle continues in the Ninth Circuit appeals court and the Supreme Court keeps the injunction alive, preventing schools from hiding transitions from parents. The fee award sends a message on protecting parental authority and could reshape school rules nationwide.
