A conservative law firm is highlighting gender ideology in schools around the U.S. by taking action against many districts they claim are overstepping their boundaries with parents.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal advocacy group, held a press call Thursday with clients they represent from around the country who are embroiled in legal action against their local school districts.
They are backing a Colorado couple whose 11-year-old daughter was assigned to room with a boy who identified as a girl on a school trip to Washington, D.C.
The parents found out in October 2022 when a school psychologist inadvertently included the child’s masculine name in one section of a report that was sent home.
The eight-grader’s name had been changed back to the birth name in the rest of the document, according to the lawsuit.
Finally a teacher spoke up to address how she is taking action against Harrisonburg City Public School Board in Virginia for allegedly muzzling her ability to talk to parents about their kids’ gender identities.
She resonated with the parents’ stories, and said she is victim to similar policies as an educator.
‘This policy that I’m working under deceives parents and it hurts kids,’ middle school teacher Deb Figliola said. ‘It also requires me to lie.’
