Supreme Court sides with Catholic parents against California on student gender notification — for now
The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily handed California a major loss related to the liberal state's scheme to advance the transgender agenda in public schools.
In a 6-3 ruling on Monday, the court reinstated a lower court order that blocked the California notification policies after the Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit at the behest of a group of Catholic parents.
'California built a wall of secrecy between parents and their own children, and the Supreme Court just tore it down.'
California state law prohibits rules requiring teachers and other school officials to notify parents if their children change their personal pronouns or gender expression at school.
The Thomas More Society issued a statement praising the temporary ruling.
"The Court found that California's secret transition regime likely violates parents' rights under both the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," the statement reads.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta argued in favor of the California policies in 2023.
"By enacting policies that forcibly out students against their own wishes, school districts violate these fundamental protections and risk breaching their obligation to serve these and all students equally," he wrote.
"Research shows that protecting a transgender student's ability to make choices about how and when to inform others is critical to their well-being," reads a statement from Bonta's office, "as transgender students are exposed to high levels of harassment and mistreatment at school and in their communities when those environments are not supportive of their gender identity."

"No more can bureaucrats secretly facilitate a child's gender transition while shutting out parents," said Thomas More Society Executive Vice President Peter Breen.
"California built a wall of secrecy between parents and their own children, and the Supreme Court just tore it down," he added. "This groundbreaking ruling will protect parents' rights to raise their children as they see fit for years to come."

'American-made retribution': US 'suicide drones' deployed against Iran are based on tech from Iranian drones used in Ukraine
The Pentagon said that Iran is getting pummeled by suicide drones using technology that Iran itself developed and used against U.S. allies, including Ukraine.
The U.S. attacked leaders and commanders of the Iranian regime in a joint operation with Israeli forces beginning Saturday morning. President Donald Trump said Monday that the operation was planned to last four weeks but that the military was prepared to continue "for as long as necessary."
'These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution.'
"CENTCOM's Task Force Scorpion Strike — for the first time in history — is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution," reads a statement from U.S. Central Command.
The LUCAS drone was developed by Arizona-based SpektreWorks and costs about $35,000 each, which is significantly less than other options.
The use of the Iranian Shahed suicide drones by Russia against Ukraine is one of the many reasons Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy endorsed the U.S.-led strike against Iran.
He also warned that the U.S. must act decisively against Iran or risk depleting military supplies.
"It is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime and to guarantee security for all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran," Zelenskyy said.
"It is important to prevent the war from expanding. It is important that the United States is acting decisively," he added.

Zelenskyy said Russia fired over 57,000 Shahed-style drones into Ukraine.
Trump also refused to rule out the possibility of U.S. troops on the ground in Iran.
"I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, 'There will be no boots on the ground.' I don't say it," the president said.
