I am not sure, because HIPAA can allow parental access to all health records of children, depending on the state?
Not clear to me how the "new law" changes any of that.
If parents had access before, don't they still?

That may not render this gubernatorial witch-hunt any less disgraceful.
But if it has indeed acquired the status of "law" I suspect that status will be short-lived.

The Trump administration has agreed to settle a lawsuit and permanently restore the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan — the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ rights movement — after a federal court made clear the government had illegally targeted LGBTQ people by removing it in February.
The administration snuck the flag down quietly on the morning of February 9th, while employees at the Stonewall Inn arrived for work. No announcement. No press conference. Just a flagpole stripped of its rainbow colors at the most symbolically significant LGBTQ site in American history.
What happened next was exactly what always happens when this administration tries to erase people: they showed up. Hundreds rallied at Stonewall. Elected officials defiantly raised a Pride flag on the ...

There has never been a time when LGBTQ+ people were not in classrooms, they were always there, just often unseen. When education leaves out queer identities, it does more than skip history, it erases real people and real experiences. Visibility in learning spaces matters, because for many students, hearing those stories for the first time can feel like finally being recognized

And going to the gym is a sign of deteriorating health. Going for walks is a sign of deteriorating leg muscles. And so forth.

As a trans teacher, these are the comments I get from parents of trans youth. Words filled with trust, fear, hope, and the quiet courage it takes to support their kids in a world that doesn’t always understand them. I carry these stories with care, and they remind me why visibility, advocacy, and compassion in education matter so deeply.

Robert De Niro reaffirmed his commitment to his daughter Airyn De Niro after she came out as trans, emphasizing that his love remains unchanged. His statement underscores a broader truth about parenting, children need support, not conditions. By responding publicly with affirmation, he offered a visible example of acceptance. Sometimes the most powerful statements are the simplest ones.
