Parents Sue Florida School Board Over Daughter's Transition Secrets
A legal battle has unfolded in Florida, with parents suing a college board for allegedly concealing their 12-year-old daughter's desire to transition from female to male. The Liberty Justice Center, Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, and California Justice Center have filed a brief on behalf of Dr. Erica Anderson, a clinical psychologist who argues for parental engagement in such cases.
The case, January Littlejohn and Jeffrey Littlejohn v. School Board of Leon County, Florida, et al., centers around the parents' claim that the college board violated their rights by not disclosing their daughter's intentions to transition. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled in favor of the college board, but the parents' legal representatives have since filed a brief challenging this decision.
The parents' argument, supported by Dr. Anderson, is that proper care for children 'experiencing gender incongruence' requires parental involvement. They assert that the college's concealment of relevant information hinders their ability to provide professional support for their child. The Liberty Justice Center, a nonprofit law firm, is leading the charge, fighting for parental rights and educational freedom.
The case, January Littlejohn and Jeffrey Littlejohn v. School Board of Leon County, Florida, et al., is ongoing. The parents, backed by legal experts and Dr. Anderson, maintain that the college's actions infringed upon their constitutional rights. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for future disputes regarding parental involvement in children's gender transitions.
