[brief] Parents have a fundamental right under the United States Constitution to direct the upbringing of their children.  Pursuant to that right, public schools are required to notify parents and obtain their consent before socially transitioning their children at school.  “Social transitioning” refers, primarily, to calling a transgender-identifying person by a new name and pronouns associated with their transgender identity.  See ACa14, Certification of [...] (“Anderson Cert.”) ¶ 9, attached to ACa1, Certification of [...], as Exhibit 1.  Social transitioning is a form of psychological treatment, with dramatic and potentially lifelong consequences, and the State may not perform this treatment on children without informing their parents.  Minor children are not capable of determining by themselves whether social transitioning is appropriate for them, and the healthcare consensus is that schools should not socially transition students without involving their parents in the process.  Here, the [...] and [...] (the “District”) adopted a policy that at least partially acknowledges parental rights by requiring schools to notify parents when the schools socially transition their children (the “Parental Notification Policy”).  Under the Parental Notification Policy, schools must accept a student’s asserted gender identity as decisive and socially transition the student if the student asks for it.  Upon socially transitioning the student, the school must notify the child’s parents, unless there is reason to believe that doing so would create a risk of harm to the child.  The Parental Notification Policy amended a prior policy under which schools were permitted to socially transition children in secret from their parents if the child asked that their parents not be informed (the “Parental Secrecy Policy”).  The Parental Secrecy Policy was based on a guidance document issued by the New Jersey Department of Education, called *Transgender Student Guidance for School Districts*, which provided that schools may socially transition children in secret from their parents if the child asks that their parents not be informed.  The court below entered an order preliminarily enjoining the Parental Notification Policy and requiring the District to reinstate the Parental Secrecy Policy.  This was erroneous.  An injunction may not violate constitutional rights, and the Parental Secrecy Policy violates the rights of parents whose children attend schools in the District.  What is more, the Parental Secrecy Policy harms children.  It keeps children who may be experiencing psychological distress from seeing a competent mental health practitioner.  It results in children receiving a “one size fits all” form of psychological treatment in a situation that demands individualized evaluation.  It results in children persisting in a transgender identity when they might otherwise desist.  And it cuts parents out of their children’s lives, isolating children from their main source of support and driving a wedge into the heart of the parent-child relationship just when children need it most.  This Court can remedy the violation of parents’ constitutional rights and prevent this harm to children.  It should reverse.
