Ainsley Earhardt discusses the Supreme Court’s decision to halt California’s policy regarding parent notification on student gender identity changes with Thomas More Society executive vice president Peter Breen.

FIRST ON FOX: One of the largest school districts in the country is facing allegations that it lets teachers decide if parents are sufficiently “supportive” enough to tell them about their child’s desire to switch genders.

Trump-aligned America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal complaint against Montgomery County Public Schools, which is in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., with the Departments of Justice and Education, alleging it has been violating the constitution and other federal law through its “Gender Identity in Montgomery County Public Schools” handbook. AFL goes on to allege the school district repeatedly instructs staff to condition parental involvement on whether a parent is deemed “supportive” enough.

 

A Trump-aligned legal group is blasting one of the nation’s biggest school districts, accusing Montgomery County Public Schools of putting teachers in the role of gatekeeper over parents — deciding whether moms and dads are “supportive” enough to be told if their child wants to change pronouns, names or even sleeping arrangements on overnight trips. America First Legal says the district’s handbook violates the Constitution and federal law by steering staff to withhold gender-identity information from parents, a fight that lands amid a broader national war over school secrecy, parental rights and who gets the final say when children’s identities are in play.
