      SECTION 2. Clause 1. The Judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Land under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects. So, yes.... applies nation-wide.  A SCOTUS ruling is the "law of the land".  As examples, Brown v. Board of Education, and Miranda v. Arizona. Enjoy

      I would expect it would apply to any similar law nationwide.  The specific lawsuit is California, but now anyone can sue a state with similar laws and likely win at District, probably fairly quickly.

      Is that nation-wide? The decision summary reads like it's only focused on California.

      SCOTUS just ruled on this...  Mirabella v Bonta https://www.aalrr.com/newsroom-alerts-4207 That is now prohibited in government, as it violates parents' rights.

      Just a point of emphasis: The schools are keeping the trans identity a secret, not teachers. Teachers are often legally restricted from disclosing gender identity or sexual orientation when a student confides in them but is withholding that information from their own parents. It varies by state but this is common practice. Board of Ed, lawyers, admins, they're the ones making the decision not to disclose.  Some teachers want to talk to the parents about it but they are not allowed to.
