A Florida couple argued that school officials violated their rights by honoring their child’s request for a different name and pronouns without first informing them.

    The parents sued, calling it a “secret gender transition plan” and arguing the school violated their constitutional rights by withholding information about their child’s gender identity. Their petition said the district had “secretly driven a wedge into the parent-child relationship” and unlawfully “usurp[ed] the parent’s role.”

      Fr, and when said child is able to confront their parents they’ll literally have a court case to back their claims of abuse.

      I hate living in this timeline where way too many people have twisted personal morals into public ethics. And way too many people are just going along.

      I had a whole argument with someone here years ago about this. There are reasons why the school knows and you don’t and it’s not the school having a secret agenda.
