Parents Defending Education (PDE), a national nonprofit association, filed the lawsuit against Olentangy Local School District on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.


The lawsuit alleges that “District policies violate students’ First Amendment rights by chilling students’ speech rights, compelling students to affirm beliefs about sex and gender that are contrary to their own deeply held beliefs, and violating parents’ Fourteenth Amendment rights through the district’s efforts to restrict speech off school grounds and in families’ homes.”

The district’s Student Code of Conduct lists “transgender identity” as a protected group and requires students to use classmates’ “preferred” pronouns.

“The District’s other actions send a clear message to students that only one view about gender identity is acceptable: it has pushed parents out of critical gender-identity decisions of their children through its use of ‘Gender Identity Support Plans’ for students whose biological gender does not align with their gender identity, which the District uses without the consent of their parents,” PDE said in a statement. “OLSD has also issued ‘Transgender Guidelines’ that instruct teachers and other District officials to hide the student’s gender identity and “preferred pronouns” from the student’s parents, unless the minor student gives permission otherwise.”

Considering that the offended students can and do change their names and pronouns on whims, how can anyone be held responsible for getting them wrong?  

Just idiotic behavior by the school board.  

The only reason school boards are filled with such idiots is because no one normal runs.
