Federal lawsuit challenges Pine-Richland transgender policy – By Paula Reed Ward (Triblive) / Jan 16, 2024
A Pine-Richland parent is suing the school district over its transgender nondiscrimination policy, alleging it violates parents’ rights to raise their children as they see fit.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court by conservative group America First Legal, is causing concern among parents of transgender children in the district who say the policy in question has worked well to support their families.
Filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe, it seeks to stop the district from enforcing the policy.
“They’re just trying to cause chaos and make us feel unwelcome,” said Nila Griffin, who has a transgender daughter in sixth grade. “You need to leave these kids alone and stop using them as a political pawn.”
