Washington state's parental rights law, criticized as a "forced outing" measure, will be allowed to take effect this week after a court commissioner declined to issue an emergency order temporarily blocking it. The law, known as Initiative 2081, underscores and expands on existing parental rights under state and federal law, requiring schools to notify parents in advance of medical services offered to their child, except in emergencies. A hearing before a judge is scheduled for June 21.
