The Murrieta Valley school board last week approved a policy that requires parents be notified if their children identify as transgender.
“We have young kids who are flirting with these different ideations about what their gender is at a very young age because right now the state of California, for whatever reason, is intent on allowing minors to alter who they are physically … and I think parents are very, very concerned about that,” school board member Nicolas Pardue said Thursday after the final vote.
The decision follows a similar one last month by the state’s Chino Valley school district requiring similar notification.
Pardue also said: “At the very least they (parents) get a heads up. ‘Hey, this is happening to your fourth-grader, fifth-grader, sixth-grader. You might want to know about this.’”
The state attorney general after the vote suggest his office will challenge the Murrieta Valley policy change.
