The San Bernardino County Superior Court yesterday granted in part and denied in part Chino Valley Unified’s parental notification policy. We disagree with the court’s reading of Mirabelli. SCOTUS put California on notice that its schools cannot keep parents in the dark. We’ll announce next steps after we review the court’s written ruling. One thing is clear: It’s only a matter of time until a court rules that parents must be told when their children socially transition at school, whether they ask for that information or not. californiapolicycenter.org/f…

Parents, teachers & school board members, I'm pleading with you to read two things: 1. California Education Code 51100-51101 2. The SCOTUS decision in Mirabelli from 6 months ago Then ask yourself these questions: Why should parents have to bend over backwards to ask simple questions that they didn't have to ask 15 minutes ago? What are schools really hiding? And if you can't trust your local school to be on the level with you, why should people send the most precious things in the world to them? Links are in the replies.
Two powerhouse women fighting to defend parents' rights at today's court hearing in the Chino Valley parental notification case in San Bernardino. “We’re disappointed but not surprised by the court’s ruling, but this fight is far from over,” said @EmilyRaeCJC. “We won’t stop fighting for parents’ constitutional rights,” said @realSonjaShaw.

One thing that really shocked me when reporting this story is that LAUSD enrollment is down almost 50% from its 2002 peak. And let's not forget that they added a new grade during this period (Transitional Kindergarten). ocregister.com/2026/07/22/lo…

LAUSD should not be struggling given its declining enrollment & greater state funding, says @marcjoffe. Yet the board approved a budget that spends more than the district takes in and ratified new labor agreements whose costs the county specifically cited as a driver of the coming insolvency.

Every child must have the opportunity to read about America’s story – its history, its heroes, and its hopes for the future – so they can dream bigger, aim higher, and write the next chapter of our incredible nation.

Consistent Local Planning for Individualized Learning Shouldn’t Be Controversial "Microschools are an answer to that problem. They are, in Lizette’s definition, “intentionally small, innovative, and personalized learning environments rooted in human-centered design.” They operate under California’s existing Private School Affidavit process, already fully legal under state law. And they deliver on something the research consistently supports: that children learn better when they are genuinely known by the adults teaching them," writes @lancelands.

TODAY is a NEW DAY for #ParentalRights! @CivilRights will restore parental authority—no secret transitions, no hiding info from parents, no surveys without consent. We WILL investigate, litigate & defund as necessary. Parents, your voice is back NOW! @TheJusticeDept

SCOTUS has ruled that parents hold ultimate authority over what their children are taught in school—especially on sensitive topics. @theJusticeDept will not tolerate schools ignoring the law. The @CivilRights Division is committed to protecting parents’ rights under FERPA.

June 14 is the anniversary of the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt. But how many California students could explain the Bear Flag Republic or how California became a state? We have no idea because California eliminated statewide testing in history and social studies. ow.ly/y6wa50ZbyHr

ICYMI: Defending Ed recently reported on a "Direct Action Training: School Walkouts" toolkit put together by the Alliance for Education Justice. The 36-page toolkit promotes direct action, even detailing how to turn "absence into power" by "disrupting normal school routines."

My colleague, @AndrewDav18, recently put together a banger report on the history & importance of charter schools in California & teachers unions' opposition to these kinds of options for parents. It's worth considering. Link to the report in the description.

NEW: We've sent a letter putting California @AGRobBonta on notice. 600 CA school districts are actively violating federal law and the U.S. Constitution by using AB 1955 to justify policies that conceal students’ gender transitions from their parents. libertyjusticecenter.org/wp-…

Money for public schools should be tied to results. So yes, I dissent from this spendthrift budget. #cabudget
