SAN DIEGO ( FOX 5/KUSI ) — The two teachers who sued an Escondido school district over a gender privacy policy have expanded their challenge to California leaders, setting up a wider legal battle over when teachers should inform the parents of transgender students about their identities.
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta were added as defendants in the federal lawsuit in a 7 6 -page amended complaint filed by Rincon Middle School teachers, Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West, with the court on Monday.
“(The) previously named defendants are all operating under the supervision and control of the Governor, who has ultimate responsibility for overseeing the state’s education system,” Paul Jonna, the teachers’ attorney, said on Thursday. ” …because the California AG and the Governor are so connected to this fight, we’re naming them as defendants to hold them fully accountable as well.”
