District facilitates gender transition

Alleged incident in Davis Joint Unified School District · California

The school district partnered with a healthcare facility to provide gender transition services, including hormones and surgeries, to K-12 students without parental consent. These services were offered under a mental health program, and the district's policy allowed students as young as 12 to consent to these services without parental notification. This raises significant concerns regarding parental rights and the nature of support provided to minors.
