Parents can’t sue school district for hiding students’ gender transitions: 4th Circuit
(Worthy News) – A panel of federal judges has ruled that a group of parents doesn’t have standing to challenge a Maryland school district policy enabling officials to keep children’s gender transitions a secret from their parents.
In an opinion Monday, a three-judge panel on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a group of parents suing Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland over a policy allowing school district officials to develop “gender support plans” for trans-identified students without parental consent did not have standing to file a complaint against the policy.
The ruling upholds an August 2022 decision by U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland Judge Paul Grimm dismissing the lawsuit. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
