California is being sued over its 'branding' of an initiative that seeks to put a parental notification policy on the November ballot, with a hearing scheduled for April 19.
The state of California is being sued over its 'branding' of an initiative that seeks to put a parental notification policy on the November ballot, according to a new report. Some Californians are petitioning for a ballot measure that would mandate school staff to notify parents of their child’s gender transition. The ballot measure containing the parental notification policy in November has not yet been officiated until petitioners obtain enough signatures before a deadline on May 19th.
Supporters of the ballot initiative reached 25% of the required number of signatures so far. In the meantime, they are legally challenging Attorney General Rob Bonta, claiming that his description of their proposed November ballot measure is being 'branded with a misleading, false, and prejudicial title.' 'Supporters of a proposed November ballot initiative wanted the all-important title of their measure to reflect their beliefs, a name like ‘Protect Kids of California Act.
The Times report comes amid a culture war outbreak in California schools surrounding transgender student policy, explicit content in school books, and school board recall elections. In southern California, Orange Unified School district officials said it was considering the parental notification policy in the name of protecting the 'fundamental rights' of parents and guardians to be involved and informed about their children’s lives.
