Court Blocks Wisconsin School District's Policy Allowing Students to Choose Pronouns Without Parental Consent

A Wisconsin court ruled in favor of parents who sued a school district for violating their parental rights by affirming their daughter's transgender identity without their consent. The court found that the school district's policy of allowing students to transition without parental notification or consent violated fundamental parental rights. The judge issued an order preventing the district from using names or pronouns at odds with a student's biological sex without express parental consent. The parents' lawsuit alleged that the district pushed their daughter toward a significant life decision she was not prepared to make and caused increased anxiety and depression. The court's decision is being hailed as a groundbreaking legal victory for parental rights.
