A judge has rejected the ballot language for an initiative that would limit the rights of transgender students in California. The initiative, proposed by the group ‘Protect Kids California’, would require schools to notify parents if a student identifies as transgender, ban gender-affirming care for those under 18, and place other restrictions on transgender students. Attorney General Rob Bonta gave the initiative a new name and summary, making it harder for the group to collect signatures and donations. The group sued for a name they said would be more reflective of the initiative’s goals, but the judge ruled against them. The group is now exploring other options, including an appeal.
