Supreme Court Gender-Disclosure Ruling Triggers Next Wave of Legal Battles
California has asked to modify the order, signaling further fights over school disclosure rules.
Overview
- In a 6–3 decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, the Supreme Court held California’s nondisclosure policy unconstitutional under the First and 14th Amendments.
- Peter Breen, counsel in the case, said California filed an emergency motion last week seeking to modify the Supreme Court’s order.
- The Court has relisted Foote v. Ludlow eight times without deciding whether to hear it, and Justice Elena Kagan’s Mirabelli dissent urged full review of that case.
- At a Federalist Society webinar, attorneys from Thomas More Society, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Defending Education outlined how the ruling could reshape parental-rights, religious-liberty, and school gender-identity policies.
- KPVI reports the Court will hear separate transgender sports cases, Little v. Hecox and B.P.J. v. West Virginia, on Tuesday.
