WIN: District Policy Prohibits Secret Gender Transitions

Paso Robles Joint Unified · San Luis Obispo County, CA · Oct 13, 2026

A major win for parental rights is buried in the policy updates under Item I.2. The new BP 5022 explicitly prohibits district employees from lying to or misleading parents about a student’s gender identity or expression at school. This policy, citing the Mirabelli v. Bonta court case, is a powerful tool to stop secret social transitions and affirms that parents have the right to know what is happening with their child at school.

The Board is set to approve updates to policies 5020 (Parent Rights), 5022 (Student Privacy), and 5145.3 (Nondiscrimination/Harassment) that incorporate the recent Mirabelli v. Bonta court ruling. This new language would prohibit school staff from actively deceiving parents about a child’s gender identity at school and from forcing the use of new names or pronouns if a parent objects.

Police Can Question Your Child at School Without Your Consent

Fauquier County Public Schools · Fauquier County, VA · Oct 12, 2026

The new School Resource Officer (SRO) agreement, hidden in the consent agenda under item 6.2, explicitly allows police to interrogate students for both school and non-school related incidents without parental notification or consent. The policy only requires the student, a minor, to ‘consent’ to the questioning. This bypasses a parent’s fundamental right to be present and advise their child during a police interview.
