📰 News we're reading

• Federal judge rules California teachers are allowed to ‘out' trans students to parents (localnewsmatters.org) — Escondido Union School District teachers are at the center of a new federal ruling that says California public schools must allow staff to inform parents if a student expresses gender incongruence. The decision, which teachers from an Escondido middle school helped spark, now applies statewide and has drawn sharp reactions from state officials, unions, and civil rights groups as it heads toward likely appeals.
