The source of the controversy was a policy requiring school staff to notify parents within writing within three days of a student asking to identify as a different gender, change their pronouns, or to use a different name as well as requesting to use a different bathroom.

The policy fight in Chino Valley has gained national attention as other school boards fight similar battles and parents become increasingly aware of the extent to which school staff are engaged in both indoctrination and hiding serious issues from parents.
