The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a case challenging a Maryland public school policy on gender identity as a violation of parental rights.

Part the guidelines includes a “Parental Preclusion Policy,” which allows gender identity information to be hidden from parents.

In August, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the parents in Montgomery County, Md. who challenged the policy in the John and Jane Parents 1 v. Montgomery County Board of Education case had lacked legal standing for the lawsuit.
