CPRC Files Amicus Brief with U.S. Supreme Court Supporting School District That Protects Parental Rights
For the first time, we are standing with a California school board that chose to tell parents the truth.
The Child & Parental Rights Campaign, on behalf of Our Duty–USA, has filed an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court in support of the Rocklin Unified School District (No. 25-1189).
Rocklin enacted a straightforward policy: if a child comes to school staff expressing gender confusion or requesting to be treated as the opposite sex, parents must be notified.
The teachers union challenged the policy as an “unfair labor practice.” California’s Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) sided with the union and ordered the district to rescind the parental notification policies. After losing in the California courts, Rocklin is now asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case and reverse that decision.
We are proud to stand with them.
“We usually sue school districts for violating parental rights. In this case, we are proud to stand with a school district that did the right thing by notifying parents. No teachers union or state agency should be allowed to override a parent’s fundamental constitutional rights.”
— Vernadette Broyles, President & Chief Counsel, Child & Parental Rights Campaign
“RUSD’s parental notification policies protect parents’ fundamental rights to direct their children’s mental health decisions and religious upbringing. This brief urges the Supreme Court to grant review and make clear that parents — not unions or bureaucrats — have the constitutional right to know and participate when their child expresses gender confusion at school.”
— Mary McAlister, Senior Litigation Counsel, Child & Parental Rights Campaign
Why This Matters
This amicus brief highlights CPRC’s consistent mission: we support any entity that protects parental rights and challenge any entity that does not. A strong Supreme Court decision here would give courageous school boards nationwide the legal cover to prioritize parents over unions and state pressure.
