The Supreme Court said it would not hear a case brought by parents in Wisconsin against their school district over its lack of a parental notification policy for students who change their gender.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh said he would have heard the case brought against an association of parents against the Eau Claire Area School District. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented from the court's denial. Parental notification policies have sparked heated debates in hundreds of school board meetings and litigation in courts nationwide.
Parents say they have a right to know about changes to their children's gender. LGBTQIA+ advocates say students should feel safe at school and should not have to worry about telling their parents about gender changes until they are comfortable.
