A school district, a nurse, and civil rights and youth services organizations sued Thursday to block a new Washington state parental rights law that critics describe as a "forced outing" measure.A conservative megadonor backed the law, which is set to take effect in June. The Democratic-led Legislature overwhelmingly approved it, with progressive lawmakers wanting to keep it off the fall ballot while calculating that courts would likely block it.
" The measure, he said, isn't designed to give parents veto power over their child's decision to access counseling or medical treatment: "It's just saying they have a right to know.""The lawsuit is a frivolous but not surprising attempt to legislate through lawsuit rather than through the democratic process," he said.He also noted that schools would not be required to turn over medical records to parents who are under investigation for child abuse or neglect.
