The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Massachusetts parents seeking to force schools to notify them when students change their pronouns or names, letting stand a lower court ruling that gives schools discretion over disclosure. This follows a March decision where the Court blocked a California policy requiring schools to inform parents—creating an apparent contradiction in how the Court has handled parent notification cases. The back-to-back rulings suggest the Court is not consistently applying a 'parent rights' framework; instead it may be deferring to state-level authority to set education policy on this issue, which muddies whether the author's claim of inconsistency reflects genuine doctrinal confusion or legitimate variation in how each state structured its policy.
