Controversy over transparency policy

The podcast episode discusses a controversy surrounding a transparency policy in the Chino Valley Unified School District in California. The policy aimed to notify parents if a child identifies as transgender or wants to engage in activities corresponding to a different gender. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tony Thurmond, showed up at a school board meeting and was eventually escorted out after a heated exchange with the board president, Sonia Shaw. The policy, which was seen as a common-sense approach to ensure parental involvement, faced opposition from activists and organizations, leading to threats and backlash against Shaw and the district.
