- Virginia school district sued over alleged policy of keeping students' gender transitions hidden from parents
America First Legal filed a federal lawsuit against Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), alleging that the district's policies on gender transitions violate parents' constitutional rights by withholding information and not obtaining consent. The lawsuit claims FCPS mandates the use of students' preferred pronouns and names, access to sex-segregated facilities based on self-identified gender, and participation in gendered activities without parental notification.
- School district’s trans policy blasted for fostering 'deception’ under shadow of SCOTUS ruling
A conservative legal group, America First Legal, has urged the Trump administration to investigate an Alaska school district's policy of withholding transgender students' gender identity from parents. The policy, which requires schools to use students' legal names and pronouns in parent communications while allowing different names/pronouns at school, is criticized as deceptive and unlawful. This follows a Supreme Court ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta that temporarily blocked a similar California policy, sparking broader scrutiny of gender secrecy rules in schools.
