(NATIONAL REVIEW) – Two Christian school teachers in California were reinstated by a federal judge after being placed on administrative leave for opposing the district’s policy of not informing parents when a child opted to change their gender identity in class.
The educators, Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, sued the California board of education on the grounds that “deceiving” a child’s guardian violated their religious beliefs.
Judge Robert Benitez ruled in favor of the teachers, noting that the district’s policy of hiding gender-identity changes from parents violated the Fourteenth Amendment. “It harms plaintiffs who are compelled to violate the parent’s rights by forcing plaintiffs to conceal information they feel is critical for the welfare of their students,” the justice wrote in his ruling.
A presentation given to the educators in February 2023 instructed teachers to uncritically accept a “student’s assertion of their gender identity and begin to treat the student immediately, consistently with that gender identity.”
