GOP AGs brief in suit against schools that hide gender transitions

 Daily Caller:

A coalition of 17 Republican attorneys general filed an amicus brief Thursday in support of a lawsuit filed against an Iowa school that obscures students’ gender transitions from their parents.

Parents Defending Education, a group advocating for parental rights in education, sued Linn-Mar Community School District in August over its “Transgender and Students Nonconforming to Gender Role Stereotypes” policy which allows students to hide their gender transitions from their parents. The brief obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, led by Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, argues that parents have a right to be involved in their child’s care under federal law.

“Parents have a fundamental constitutional right to direct the upbringing and care of their children,” Knudsen told the DCNF. “School policies cannot intentionally leave parents in the dark about their child’s mental and emotional well-being. The courts must step in to protect these kids and stop the violation of parental rights at the hands of woke school administrators.”

The school’s policy accommodates a student’s change in name and pronouns and allows students to use restrooms and locker rooms on the basis of gender identity. Beginning in seventh grade, students have a “priority of their support plan over their parent/guardian,” allowing the students to transition at school without telling their parents, the policy states.

This school appears to support child abuse.  They have no business keeping information about a child's mental health from parents.
