Christian parents sue their school district to force it to out trans kids

A group of fourteen unnamed parents – most of whom are Christian – are suing the Madison, Wisconsin school district over its policy to allow students to change their name and pronouns without informing their parents.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) is a conservative legal organization, is representing these families, who believe the Madison Metropolitan School District’s transgender student guidelines violate the state constitution’s due process and freedom of religion provisions.

The district’s policy does not allow students to change their names or pronouns in any official capacity without their parents’ permission, but it does allow them to go by a name that is different than their legal one. It also prohibits teachers from informing parents of any name or pronoun change without explicit consent from the child.

“Disclosing a student’s personal information such as gender identity or sexual orientation can pose imminent safety risks,” the policy states, “such as losing family support and housing.”
